Well. There are governments that don't care about their people, or judges who have been bought to let the guilty go free. There are people who do cruel things to animals and children, just because it makes them feel strong. Women can work but we're still fighting to get paid as much as men do for doing the same job. The air we breathe becomes dirty and we have to fight to try to make it less so, to stop pumping things into it that don't belong.

[ She has no real idea if Elizabeth will quite grasp all of this -- especially when it comes to disagreeing with governments -- but a girl can hope. ]
