Children are not generally thick at the start. They try hard and know when they fail. They don’t like to see others get praise for nothing or for failure because it detracts from their own hard won achievements. But we have trained them, especially the girls, to be ‘entitled’. We have ‘given’ them the gifts brought to you by The Princess of Lies.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
–Dwight David Eisenhower, “The Chance for Peace,” speech given to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Apr. 16, 1953.
