"As children we want what we want and we want it now, and we don't care where it comes from or even if somebody has to be robbed for us to get it. But as discerning adults who put a higher premium on mutual respect and building a culture that rests on creativity and persuasion over coercion, we should have different standards." -Lawrence W. Reed
[We should have different standards as adults, but we have largely been encouraged to postpone adulthood as long as possible, or to extend adolescence to as late an age as we are able. This delays the application of those different standards, and in some cases eliminates them entirely.]
