You've Gotta See It...!
"How can I teach your children gentleness and mercy to the weak, and reverence for life...when by your laws, your actions, and your speech, you contradict the very things I teach?
Among the noblest in the land—
Though man may count himself the least—
That man I honor and revere,
Who without favor, without fear,
In the great city dares to stand,
The friend of every friendless beast."
~Henry W. Longfellow
