Father and child at sunset (Image by Public domain image) Details DMCA | William rivers Pitt: It is my sworn intention that (my toddler) grow up to be and do as she pleases - if she wants to sell apples out of a barrel by the side of the road, or go to law school, or make matches in a factory, or become an Olympic athlete, or shine shoes, or whatever, because it makes her happy, then I will be happy, because it is what she wants to do - but I stand before you a man afraid, because it is also my sworn intention to give her the chance to choose her own path as best I can.
I'm not sure how much of that is going to be within my power to do for her. It's a hell of a thing to raise a child in the dying empire of a dying country stapled to a dying economic paradigm within a dying ecosystem. |
