Just a simple box that my sister shipped some hand-me-down clothes in. She doesn't need fancy toys with batteries, or authentic reproductions of stuff to play - she has an imagination, and that will serve her better in her life than any working scale model Hummer will. We don't need to mandate poverty, but perhaps if we could mandate common sense... Sitting prominently on my desk is a photo of my toddler having the time of her life playing in a box.

Some countries have mandatory military service. Maybe we should have mandatory poverty for a year. It would be interesting to see what type of changes would occur if that were the case. @infmom – I like that idea. Some countries have mandatory military service.
