We take away education, which is their and our future. We leave them to learn from peers. They are sold and become prostitutes, and thieves. They indeed are superfluous. Compared to the old in manay countries, they have no advocates, and the old cut budgets such as in the passing of Proposition 13, in California, which locked the property tax used for schools and social services. Their body parts are bought and sold for male transplants. They live in forty-year ghettos in the West Bank, learning only hate, and become fodder for the next life, after using themselves as bombs. They are not their children; They are ours, as well. Yes! They are superfluous. However, for me, they are our future.
