    Since you saw no form when the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire, take care and watch yourselves closely, so that you do not act corruptly by making an idol for yourselves, in the form of any figure -the likeness of male or female...
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 4:15,16.

    Thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 7:4.

    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.

It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.
    Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
