First of all, on the last page he says
"I truly believe that along with more money.. what we most need more of is love. This is not being simplistic, it's at the very heart of the issue."

He is absolutely right. This is a world, particularly American society, that has put down true connection as secondary to a lot of things. And it's costing us our lives. The lack of open emotional connection, the lack of friendship, the lack of love in society, and especially the lack of early childhood education and high quality child care, is creating a nightmare for people of all ages in this country that won't be solved until we have a few generations of kids who've grown up being cared for by every single adult. Nothing more true was ever said than to point out as he did, or as one of his colleagues did , that the Head Start program is the most effective anti-crime program invented.
Secondly, a pox upon people who write in library books. Especially when they scratch out words so that you don't know what the author said about someone. Back to our review:

We need to put our money where our mouths are and begin investing in those Early child Care programs for everything from childcare itself and paying our babysitters not only a living wage but to make sure that they're giving even the very youngest of children educational and loving experiences, and of course early childhood education. These are the most important things that any society can do and we have neglected it to our detriment. It's only now taking the toll on society that will take another 40 years to reverse.
We'd better get started.
