In particular, his closing sentiments:<br /><br />"How, then, stands the case of Child vs. Curriculum? What shall the verdict be?

I appreciate your thoughtful and ...Hello Mary Ann,<br /><br />I appreciate your thoughtful and reflective post. I think your thoughts on what meaning and implication terms like 'deliver' have is right on the mark.
