In the immortal words of George Carlin: Gotta get em' while they're young !
Our early influences have a profound effect on how we look at things. That's especially so in school where we're socialized and conditioned to one day become good citizens in the society we're a part of.
It was a little different here in the states. Every day, for at least ten years, we started off with the pledge of allegiance to the flag. It went as follows:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Our country was founded on some pretty radical ideas for their time. It was about the notions of freedom,liberty, and a profound regard for the inherent human right of self determination.
Part and parcel with having the freedom to make your own choices comes the responsibility for those choices.
If you leave a toxic mess of TV parts in your wake it's your responsibility to clean them up.
