Oh c'mon.  La Clinton is talking about having parents and children trust 
the *state* with protecting them?  Aside from the anarchist yelp of 
horror, what about the character of this state, hm?  Is this government 
a site of struggle now? no.  Is it in the hands of the working class? 
no.  It's an enthusiastic part of global capital, doing its work for 
payment, creating a lived culture of obedience to transnationals.
	Or should we trust her because she's a noted friend of labor? hm?
