Children cannot lobby and cannot vote. We must speak for them.

The crisis of children having children has been eclipsed by the greater crisis of children killing children.

So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done.

I try to act out of faith.

I'm tough in the sense that I believe as strongly in what I'm doing as anybody else believes in what they are doing.

We all need to get out of our safety zones too. In addition to voting, we need to embarrass people who don't do the right thing. It's going to take citizen action.

I worry about the kids who have too much. As a parent living in a so-called good neighborhood with children who went to private high school, I found myself spending much time in parent groups worrying about alcohol, unsupervised parties, and parents not being parents.
