“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society--but now apparently a diminishing one.” WellsChildrenIdeasWholeEyeKidsIndividualParentSidesResponsibilitySecurityPoliticianConsequenceProgramTownsBlockWell BeingBehaveExpensiveStakesRoofCiting Author:Richard Stolley

We say we love them but give them little honor.” GivingShouldChildrenLittlesActionValuesNationsAttitudeRichHonorNeglectSentimentalOur ActionsAmbivalent Author:Richard Stolley
