Why not, when it can be done without exposure or expense, let me rescue some of America's miserable children from vice and guilt?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we were really tough on crime, we'd try to save our children from the desperation and deprivation that leave them primed for a life of crime.
I trust that the president will try, just give it one more shot, some revolutionary way of not doing this, of bringing all those kids back home safely.
We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.
The brutal truth is, we're scarcely 'educating' children at all. Even if you overlook the guilt, fear, bigotry, and dangerous anti-intellectual flapdoodle being funneled into young brains by schools on the religious right, what we're doing is training kids to be cogs in the wheels of commerce.
I didn't do this for the President. When I had this opportunity, not only was it work, but it was something that I could do, as an actor, for the victims and their families. Something I could give back.
We beg you to save young America from the blight of race prejudice. Do not bind the children within the narrow circles of your own lives.
America is built around this premise that you can do it, and there are an awful lot of people who are unlikely to have done it who did.
Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.
We've got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it.
