<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="margin:0;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;">In a world that values compliance, we’re, letting go of the more important values of life, like individualism (that, is what the country, is built on, isn’t it???  Remember the MELTING POT theories???  In a world that values compliance, we won’t accept anything less, than “YES, SIR!”, “YES, MA’AM!” and there are, NO objections, or any OTHER voices besides the authority figures’!</span></span></p>

<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="margin:0;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;">In a world that valued compliance, what sort of children, are we raising?  Those who can only, follow their “leaders”, those who’d, delegated the ability to think, to decide for themselves what is right and wrong on that HEAD honcho?</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="margin:0;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;">In a world that valued compliance, well, you know what?  I’m NOT going to comply, not this time, or ever, for that matter, and, there’s, NOTHING you can do ‘bout it!!!</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.speareducation.com/spear-review/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/KidsInSchool.png" /><span lang="EN-US" style="margin:0;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;">I can see so many things wrong with this photo, can you???  Photo from online&#8230;</span></span></p>
<p align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="margin:0;font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;">And you do realize, parents, that by raising your young in a world that valued compliance, you’re, turning them (those kiddies???) into ROBOTS, that can, only perform the most basic skills that are needed, for them, to sustain a job, to keep themselves, alive, and, is that what you parents want to raise?  Children who can’t think on their own, who rely on you, to HOLD their hands, to cross the road, to go to “potty”, even if they’re all, in their TWENTIES or THIRTIES???</span></span></p>
