In the 1950s, there was no Child Protective Services. I remember being on the train in New York and seeing a sign: Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. What about children? I wondered. What about me?
the irony, protect animals but not children. but, on the other hand, i think they saw children as belonging to parents, the family...when is there too much involvement ocer the lives of others? there are however, situations where there is always outside intervention necessary...always extreme, "how could this even be concieveable" to have happened?
“Surely judgement was in the eye of the beholder- unless one counted God.”

“Intelligence can only get you so far. True genius isn't in merely being smart, it's knowing how to wield your own intelligence, and that of others."

“We gossip about God in all sorts of ways. When we tell people that they have to wear the right clothes to church, or listen to the right music, or not see certain movies to be a good Christian, we make God petty and small. When we say that He favors one group of people over another, we make God mean and heartless.”
