I watch tv and the more I watch the
more depressed I get. We train our children to believe that life
should be beautiful people doing beautiful things and at the end of
every transgression, so long as you apologize, even the biggest turd
can come out smelling like a rose. They are brainwashed into
believing that the good guys are always stalwart and true while the
bad guys, easily identified by their black hats and/or physical
deformities, are always defeated with little to no cost to the white
hats. We leave no room for thought or logical processes until the
later years, and even then what little formal instruction in
mandatory schooling can be used to convey these monumental ideas is
limited, underfunded, and a mockery to merely appease the few who
have the foresight to question.
And that's the pinch isn't it? If we teach our children from day one
that our rights are undeniable and
irrefutable but we
never teach them to question the very government who decided what
rights are “god-given” and what rights can be stripped from a
citizen merely for holding an unpopular belief, then how will our
children teach theirs to question? Truth is, the power to question
and the power to act on the conclusions of such inquiry is
stressed
in schooling, to one group of people; the upper one percent, that's
how they stay the upper one percent.
