Show I staff column tssss- - Learning lessons taught by little people Being initiated only recently as a grandparent I enjoy being reminded of the valuable lessons that can be taught by these little people. I In fact I love giving instructions to babies be-use they will always give you a smile in return for the information. This is a good lesson for us adults to team.

I have noticed that not aO of the lessons are I easily recognized as they are camouflaged in the everyday activities of youth, but they are valuable just the same. For example, we need to remember that youth always have something to say and to them if is have seen mothers and grandmothers make the funniest faces in response to a babies smite. They even make the most spine tingling (or nerve racking) sounds in response to a babies smite. Oh, that we could feel the same as babies do when the sides of their mouth curl upward which forces their cheeks to puff important So when babies open their mouths to sing, outand form dimples that in. the end forms the gurgle or just drool, we should smile.

With these words in 1790, Maximilian Robespierre welcomed the horrific French Revolution that had begun the year before. A firm believer m using eovemment to plan the lives of others, he would become the architect of the revolutions bloodiest phase - the reign of terror of 1793-9- 4. Robespierre and his guillotine broke eggs by the thousands in a vain effort to impose a centrally planned utopian omelette society. But alas, Robespierre never made a single om- elette. Nor did any of the other thugs who held power in the decade after 1789. They left France in moral, political and economic ruin, ripe for the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French experience is one example in a dis. turbingly familiar pattern.
