Having seen pictures of feral children, those hidden from society and not given the chance of socialization, education, or even humanization, I think it's okay if we work out a little bit of the wildness. And lest they yearn for the mines maybe we can educate them just a bit?

But I appreciate the sentiment.

I read McCammon's Swan Song in 6th grade, terrific post apocalypse novel. Guess I should check out his other stuff.
