------>------>On the question page, Pojman quotes Robert Fulghum on the lessons of kindergarten:
     "Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there, in the sandbox at the nursery.  These are the things I learned:  Share everything ... Play Fair ... Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess ... Don't take things that aren't yours ... Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody ... Wash your hands before you eat ... Flush ... Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you ... Live a balanced life ... Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together ... Be aware of wonder."
------>How does the statement above translate to grown-up life and responsibility?  How would you restate this code of virtue for adults to live by in today's complex world?--OR, would you just say it's not relevant or too simplistic for grownups?
