“One upshot of all this is that there is a simple way to produce fewer leftists. Raise children who are grateful in general, and grateful to be an American in particular, or grateful to be the citizen of any decent country, who don't complain much, who learn to handle losing, and who are guided by values, not feelings. In other words, teach them how to be happy adults. That, more than any one other thing will produce fewer leftists, and a better world. Because the happy make the world better and the unhappy make it worse.” — Dennis Prager
