Yes, naturalness. So the problem can't be US, the humans that it, we're
as natural as any rock or stone or tree. Innocence and lack of control
is a blessed thing in a child. In nature. Grow up. Get control of your
life. Let the children be the children. But Prairie never had a chance.
Che had less of one. I guess you can get your blood boiling over that
set up hand job and murder, but who you gonna blame/save? 

I agree with Robert, P's on Prairie's side. 

Funny, I don't watch TV much, but I was checking out this PBS program on
President and First Lady Lincoln and they were talking about how Abe was
kinda permissive, let the kids run wild. Gave him some solace it did,
that he'd done that, when Willy died.
