I have seen the desperation and the despair of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children …how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair. I know that the response of the powerful…alternating between a dull complacency (or) unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences is inadequate to the task.
Barack Obama, 44th President, 2009
