And once again to plug my strong feeling that there's a crying need for alliances between young and old.

Thank you, Fred.

At this moment, we all need every possible encouragement, especially the young, especially the children.

If we'd all thought first, not of ourselves but of the children, with the love and care they need and deserve, we'd never have come down to this hard place.
