    Wee image of my bonnie Betty,
    I fatherly will kiss and daut thee,
    As dear an’ near my heart I set thee
    Wi’ as guid will,
    As a’ the priests had seen me get thee
    That’s out o’ hell.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
