A couple of weeks ago, I was in New Jersey and learned that the words of my brother-in-law, Rob Waldron, had been featured on a Starbucks coffee cup as #105 in their series of “words of wisdom” on coffee cups:
According to the Federal Reserve Bank, $1 spent on excellent preschool education saves $7 in special education, social service and future incarceraton costs more than a dozen years later. Are we, as citizens, willing to elect government leaders who spent our taxes on something that offers a return so far in the future? I hope so.

Neat!
