So, it takes a village to raise a child but it also take a village to tear the child down.  But, why is it always after the child graduates? The end result is that you devalue your community, it' s independence and its use of resources.  A human being, economically speaking, is more precious than gold.  They are the new standard of financial valuation in any economy since a functioning human being pays money to someone for something in his daily endeavors. He is the conduit and conductor for the flow of money from the producer of goods who sends the goods to market and then gets a return once the human being buys the goods.  Gold; what good or use does this gold provide to anyone anywhere except but for cosmetic effect and to remember the cave or the pit from whence some men came?
