• And maybe if you took away the internet, you wouldn't think so poorly of us. Think that we are a waste of all-american flesh and blood when none of us know what you mean when you say we have been raised on the stew that has been boiling in the melting pot that is the American education system. You say we have it good, but I don't think you remember looking at these grotesque images on the news and in your history class and knowing there is nothing you can do to make them go away. Knowing that they symbolize the mistakes of grandma and grandpa. Knowing that the news symbolizes the mistakes of Mommie Dearest and Dear Old Dad. Maybe if you took away cartoons, you wouldn't think of us as so childish, but then maybe you forget that it is you who taught us to love them and cherish their colorful characters as icons, even when life seems dark. I'm sorry I can't sympathize with the large number of rotting corpses in the Middle East. I guess I'm just used to it. I guess suicide bombings loose their meaning after awhile. I guess Mr. So-and-so and Mrs. Whatever were expendable in the big picture and "god" didn't really care. Which I find a laugh, how can you wage wars in the name of an imaginary man that lives in the Care Bear palace, giving false hope to anybody that needs it, but doesn't care enough to save your life? But that's not the point. The point is, maybe "Kids today" don't walk to school in the freezing rain uphill both ways, but maybe we are still terrified of what will happen when we are finally pushed out of the nest into a world that has turned to its final hours. Tell me mother, why did you do this to us? Tell me, why is the world crumbling and why is my once bright future suddenly nothing but black?
