You can't change the world. You can't change other people.

You can change yourself.

And even that is really, really hard.
Yes pgrundy, you are right and that what PC trys to support. But my point and even the point Sanada is trying to make is how we devide, and devide. My answer was that it comes from the begining of how are children of the world are raised.

Well, we certainly can't depend on government or politicians to do anything because they DEVIDE within their own families. There are many promenent people who cheat and divorce and the children, who talks about what happens to them? Are any of them here? And these people in high places get away with it, happens all the time.

Maybe it is just a dream. No, there has to be some type of system that is put in place to protect children. I think it is worse for children now than in the past. With all this technology, they don't get any real privacy from other children that may be mean because they have a parent issue.

And, we are only spending billions of dollars on the cleanup from the fallout of all this. When they talk about a magic pill, would it be for the parent? or the child? or both?

No, for now all we can do is greet every person that comes into PC with a HELP writen in their message and try to say, yeah, me too, I hear you, no, your not alone.

The meek shall inherit the earth? Maybe thats us?
