1 " If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the k nowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise. "

Adam and Eve commandeered their design to worship themselves instead of God. Their children and grandchildren have been doing the same ever since. "

― Neil Postman
