Lew:   A few days ago,  I participated in a “focus” group directed by a politically-correct “liberal” organization.  Each of us was asked to make a brief statement about five politically-oriented groups.  One of them was UNICEF.  My statement was that it is “an international organization that uses children as an excuse for the expansion of governmental power; that whenever legislation is proposed to ‘help the children,’ you  should run.”  A woman sitting next to me — and who works for a state bureaucracy to “help” children — responded:  ”but that’s the work I do.”  I replied: “then you know what I mean.”
