permissiveness

[Michael Perelman]

What would have happened if Chelsea Clinton had gotten into trouble like
the Bush twins and W. himself?  What about Rod Grams son?  Has any work
ever been done trying to get an objective feel for the relationship
between lifestyle and parenting outcomes?  The design of such a study
would be almost impossibly difficult because of the vagueness of
lifestyle/permissiveness and such categories.  Better to select a few
example and run with it for demigogic purposes.
