Puppies not Phosphorus

Meet the newest member of the family--Biscuit the Biscotti Terrier (half Boston half Scotty). We got him for the kids. And watching the kids play with the puppy, I realized that most things worth doing are done for the kids.

If we would simply think of the kids first our lives would be simpler, more beautiful, and more full of joy. You don’t scream or use your fists when you are thinking about the kids. You don’t pollute the air or the water when you are thinking about the kids. You don’t put yourself or the country into decades of debt when you are thinking about the kids. And you don’t invade countries when you are thinking about the kids.

Amazingly enough, the kids get no official recognition in our government. They can’t vote. Yet every policy we enact impacts the children directly, our children, our neighbor’s children, and the children in other countries.

Let’s put the kids at the front of all of our personal, business and government debates, decisions and policies. And let’s see if life does not change for the better.
