Affluent – dilapidation - homeless
“A girl’s best friend”
Expendable
Brings wealth primarily to owner
Creates/provides wealth to a society
Placed in the best environment
Placed in safe  to perilous environments
Hard stones

 Children are the most important and precious resource to a society. If we are wise, we realize such, now; if not, but live long enough we will realize such, then.
