Self-defence is Nature's eldest law.

My personal position is that society must keep children safe.

We have lost sight of nature's role in the whole process of maturation and growing up. Parents and nature are a team. And nature can't go on without the parental role of being able to foster individuality and viability unless the attachment needs are fully met.

Children are our most valuable natural resource.

I think we have a moral obligation to our children that can be easily summarized: number one, protect them from harm.

If children have an interest in nature, they will understand. I want them to become people who appreciate the consequences the next generation will suffer if we destroy our natural surroundings. So without a doubt, they need to learn that nature is vital to us by experiencing it. I want them to like nature and to climb mountains and so on.

We don't protect our young, and we tolerate predators of our own species.

When we protect children from every possible source of danger, we also prevent them from having the kinds of experiences that develop their sense of self-reliance, their ability to assess and mitigate risk, and their sense of accomplishment.

Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.

We're not going to protect the Earth the way we need to protect it if we don't stop making so many babies.
