...these remedies are expensive, and we would demand them if our own children's lives were at stake. And yet we don't demand them for poor children. We wring our hands about the tabloid stories. We castigate the mother. We condemn the social worker. We churn out the familiar criticisms of "bureaucracy" but do not volunteer to use our cleverness to change it.

As no doubt all members of this community demand, we simply expect that debate, about whatever subject, adhere to standards of intellectual honesty and factual accuracy. It is certainly ironic that those persons who champion the cause of standards the loudest are often the ones who make this expectation the most precarious...
