You didn't need my help...

...you said it as well as I could have :) I think kids should be greatly valued, but not to the extent of being considered morally superior or more "pure" than adults in an inherent sense. I think experience adds to the value of a human being, it doesn't "steal" innocence or cause something negative to occur in any manner.

Btw, I will get back to your e-mails ASAP! They were very awesome, and I do not want you to think that the reason I haven't responded yet is because you said something in them to upset me in any way. They gave me a lot to think about, and I will respond to them soon :)
