This post by Ron Copfer got me thinking of something that happened around our dinner table recently. We were watching the news as dinnertime wound down and there was a story about the new wall being built between the U.S. and Mexico. After my wife and I discussed it for a bit we turned to Emma, our youngest who is 5, and asked her what she thought. Her answer:

We should just tell them to get their blankies and their bears and come over

How and when did we lose such innocence?

Unfortunately, many of our leaders loose that wisdom once they hit puberty and then never evolve beyond pubescence.
