PRECIOUS LIVES

We 'tear our babies from the breast' in order to survive in an self-driven economy, projecting our little ones into learning before they can reason. We are persuaded to'fit them for progress and the future', unkowningly grooming them to covet as we do. We give little thought for the values by which a true society survives. We now have a generation to whom living in debt is 'normal' and self-gratification rules.

Walter Lippman, a true progressive, perhaps spoke truly when he said that bringing women into the labour market would bring death to society. He saw them, rather, as enriching the home with knowledge gained from progress and science.

To whom are our young precious?
