“It is the duty of parents to maintain their children decently, and according to their circumstances; to protect them according to the dictates of prudence; and to educate them according to the suggestions of a judicious and zealous regard for their usefulness, their respectability and happiness.” –James Wilson (from James Wilson, Lectures on Law, 1791)

If any thing is demonstrable from the riots and lootings we’ve seen, it’s that it takes good parenting and not a village to raise good citizens and just plain good people.
