对去年夏天发生的一件事至今我还余怒未消。

我们住在一间带有小电影院的乡村客栈。

每天晚上电影放映之前，我和丈夫都教育三岁大的儿子坐好别说话。

除了偶尔小声问问题外，他都全神贯注地坐着。

然而，我们却没有办法听到电影的声音，因为有两个小孩在座位上蹦蹦跳跳、大声嚷嚷、还在过道上跑来跑去。

我从来没有见到过他们的家长在场。

就这样过了几个晚上,有一次，我就跟踪这两个孩子到了餐厅。

在那里有一男一女正清闲地吃着饭。

“我们对使用客栈的设施付过钱了，”他说，“我们的孩子想去哪里就去哪里。

这对夫妻看上去挺讲道理的，是什么让他们能够容忍如此明显的不礼貌行为呢？

作为社会的一份子，我们是否已经变得一心只想着自己的需求和满足孩子的欲望从而忽视了他人的权利呢？

当孩子们被漫画人物《比维斯和巴特里德》的低俗、滑稽动作逗得大笑的时候，他们的父母也因辛辣的情景喜剧《有孩子的家室》和粗鲁的情景喜剧《罗斯娜》而哈哈大笑。

其实，粗俗的行为不仅仅以喜剧性调剂的形式出现。

人们不妨看看去年巴尔的摩“黄鹂”棒球队的第二守垒员罗伯多·阿洛马的恶心表现，他居然在几百万球迷面前，朝裁判约翰·赫什伯克的脸上吐口水。
