Carolyn:

Proposed sort-out of meta-themes/comments please:

1.1.3 (Friendship, love & loyalty)
MOVE 1.2.4.2 (Trust) to a sub-category here and RENAME 
(Trust/mistrust)

1.1.4 (Equality & Fairness)
NEW sub-category: 1.1.4.1 (Inequality, bullying & discrimination)

1.1.6 (Parenting & Child Development)
MOVE category 1.1.7 (Maturity/immaturity) to a sub-category here 
(will become 1.1.6.2) 

1.1.7 (was Maturity/immaturity) RENAME (Bravery/courage)
ADD new sub-category 1.1.7.1 (Cowardice)


This way, each of the meta themes gets its opposite as a sub-
category. That do you?

I'd have filed *her* under 0.10 (Mistakes/perpetrating mistakes); 
3.3.3 (Types of crime & punishment); and 5.3 (Just for a laugh), 
locked the cabinet and gone away for the weekend. The Snape approach, 
you know..they've got to learn.
