I know I'm gonna sound very silly but it cracks me up big time
I also love the "Kenya" song- especially when it goes:"Kenya believe it"?
And...it reminds me of my Uni years... *sigh*

“It is amazing that most people who are horrified at the atrocities committed in wartime do little or nothing to prevent children having their compassion desensitised and their cruelty aroused.

They are given picture books showing sheep, cattle, goats, hares, roedeer, poultry and other animals with captions such as ‘Our Dear Friends’. When children meet a lamb, a kidgoat, or a calf, they are encouraged to pet the creature, and everyone is pleased at this display of love for animals which awakens in every goodnatured child at the sight of such creatures.

But a few hours later, the children may see the same animals they have petted and played with, now hanging on a hook with bloody throats, dead eyes and bodies disembowelled. And then the children are encouraged to eat pieces of their 'dear friends', their playmates. Is this not an education in treachery?�

Not a great deal of relevance today I wouldn't have though. I don't know many kids who go on day trips to the abattoir.

It may be 'an education in treachery' but I am guessing your friend Magnus didn't have children. It's extremely difficult to impose ones views on a toddler - it's a bit like forcing them to be christened. You can't do more than give them choices and let them make their own mind up when their age dictates.

I can't help but feeling your posts are somewhat inflammatory in their intent.
