[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 22521, member: 1991"] What would be an appropriate punishment? Having to clean bedpans there? Or maybe having to interview the residents there, with a tape recorder, about what their life is like? Then transcribe it all, of course. Or maybe, having to endure what a bed-bound stroke victim has to endure - the lack of privacy, the lack of dignity and lack of respect. Being toileted by the clock. Having underwear taken away by staff. Being supervised on the toilet. Having to be spoon-fed creamed spinach and instant mashed potato plus pureed steak. Or cold scrambled eggs. Being talked to in a loud voice as if all intellect is gone. Because all that is what my mother had to go through, after having spent her life working hard to raise her family and live as a considerate, caring, compassionate, intelligent citizen of the world. I'm not sure if anything else would get the message through to them, that the world does NOT exist to provide amusement for them; they have a debt to pay, just for being allowed to breathe. We all have to live together on this planet and to do this with the utmost success, we must respect each other and not abuse one another. How is it possible to teach this? Marg [/QUOTE]
