My wife was in Junior League a few years back and they do a project for 5
year old kids called Safety Town. They work with them on every thing from
how to cross the street to how to not talk to strangers. Near the end of
this WEEK of training I was asked to walk into the play ground looking for
my dog that I lost and see if the kids can put what they learned about not
talking with or going away with strangers to practical use.

I was able to get every single one of the 30 or so kids to walk off with
me. Scared the crap out of me and the parents that were watching the kids
from inside the building.

Scary!

Similarly, as adults we have received years of education and experience in
history and political science but are still willing to trust those we know
are liars because they are the tallest or the most photogenic. Our leaders
should have more qualifications that a simple 'least worst'.

Reminds me of Pogo, "We have seen the enemy and it is us."
