4. VP Humphrey said it best

Vice President Hubert Humphrey, “...the moral test of
government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children;
those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the
sick, the needy and the handicapped.”

7. The wisdom in that

takes my breath away! Thank you, Martin.

9. That lesson has yet to be learned in the "greatest country" in the world

One of the biggest tragedies - for society and for individual children - is lost potential due to lack of quality education, mentoring, and parenting.

We simply do not value our children enough.
