The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution.

The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy. ↗

Corporate governance is a huge issue too. We don't have women on these corporate boards. More than half of the students in law school are women, more than half of the women, I think, in medical school now are women. ↗
