“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”

And I meet full face on dark mornings
The bestial visor, bent in

What does it prove? Sod all.”
