3. That way they can live to be 18 and die in an unjust war so that

rich men can get richer.

Oh, sorry, I was in Bushthink Mode.

4. what is a happy childhood?

not being sarcastic or 'witty'- but what would qualify as a "happy" childhood?

one thing about having tough times- without them, you cannot fully understand
the true meaning of "happy"-

(in my experience)

And for those children who don't get the 'happy childhood' is it too late? would they be destined to become terrorists? or is it never too late to have a 'happy childhood'-?

Can we begin with the Now?

Mother Theresa said :

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.

We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.'

Hungry not only for bread -- but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing -- but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks -- but homeless because of rejection.

not for how we will be 'judged' in the end, but for the difference it would make to our NOW- and not just for 'us'- but for 'them' too- for all people everywhere.

dreamer-
but not the only one.

even if we die trying, we die with hope for a better future
peace,
blu
