[MoseyWalker]

what?

What should all of the children of the world have, by right because of being born into this world?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

1. peace

2. the chance to grow up, healthy in every way

[Skip Intro]

4. All people should have, at least, sufficient food, clothing, and shelter

As members of the same humanity, I am repeatedly dismayed by our refusal not to hold that as a highest, universal priority.

6. Yup, the really sad part is we have the capability

to end poverty, we just don't have the presence of mind...

5. someone who loves them, and

who will nurture them- at the very least, until they can take care of themselves.

Nurturing includes every aspect of thier life- emotional, physical- you name it.

There are only a few things all human beings have in common. One of those is we have ALL been children.- Vunerable, needy, fragile, and at the mercy of a world that often eats its own.

Even most animal mothers offer thier children these basic things- or are willing to give up thier own life in an attempt to give thier little one(s).
