Our culture is at war with families. Families in America have been
invaded by technology, mock or "kitschiefied" by the media isolated by demographic changes, pounded by economic forces
and hurt by their corporate values. They have been frightened by crime in their neighborhoods. Parents worry about their children's
physical safety and children are afraid of strangers. When I speak to or smile at children I don't know, I see fear and doubt
in their eyes... A culture in which children fear adults and adults are uneasy around children is an unhealthy and dangerous place.

We Program computers, but they also program us.

If anything, genuine creative though resembles play far more than
id does the rule-governed constructions of school mathematics.
