We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes. In every neighborhood, all across our country, there are good people insisting on a good start for the young, and doing something about it. [Fred Rogers]
