With every child we undereducate & every person we fail to provide the opportunity to thrive, we deprive ourselves as a nation of our richest resource: an infinite potential for creativity and productivity that lies within us all. People are our greatest wealth & we squander it.

I often wonder how many Einstines, Mozarts, Shakespears . . . spent theirs lives in poverty, slavery . . . I am sure our world would have been so much richer and wonderful had we been better to our fellow humans. Who's gifts are we squandering now?

Let’s not forget the Mary Cassatts, Marie Curies and Ruth Bader Ginsbergs who, even when not in poverty, were not and are not allowed to express themselves or actualize their talents.

Lol, Very, very much agree! I did say humans and totally agree that historical and present day oppression based on gender was and is a barrier to far too many great humans.
