Won't Someone Please Think About the Children?!

In all the recent talk about stimulus, compassion, markets, incentives, and justice, we sometimes forget to ask whether the ones we are helping actually want to be helped. Everyone talks about caring for the children, but no one actually stops to listen to their fears and concerns. Won't someone please think about the children?!

I am not the sharpest guy in the world, so maybe I am too small to get the sarcasm. You do know that the Onion is a news parody and not for real right?!

Dan-

I think the label of this post ("Satire") should ease your concern.

I like how he snuck in 'and a lollipop', very funny.

Kevin: Very excited to see your book on Christianity Today's Top 10 Books of the Year. No surprise--I've been calling URC the "third year at seminary." Saralee Howard

Ha I so did not see that. I feel stupid, because I should have given him the benefit of the doubt. I respect Kevin's writing and have been helped by it , I just didn't know if he knew but I should have assumed he did...

No problem, Dan. I appreciate you looking out for me.
