Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

Edward Abbey

Along the way, let's never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from. Adults need to remember to play and to be more childlike in our behavior. We've forgotten what that childlike experience was like.
