So much of what we see happening in Washington today with the "Contract with America" bullshit is the reaction to this delayed discovery that we don't have many kids who look or act like us. Why is that? The first response is to punish them for it. We're punishing our children for not being like us, because that's a way of not admitting that we have done something to our children that previous parents never did. Previous parents protected their children, gave them a sacred space, gave them time and room to become adults. Now we have "Toys R Us."
