| World Domination! |
What would life truly be like if children under the age of 18 and over the age of 3 were able to have a say in the government decisions or even have total control? Some might say total chaos.
Listen to this.
Last week I asked a child about the age of 6 how he felt about the war. "I think it's stupid. Why do people always want to hurt other people? Why can't the grown-ups get along?"
Why can't grown-ups get along? From the eyes of a 6 year old the world has become one big game of Risk. Adults are the ones fighting and it is the children who are suffering.
Well what about all the mothers and wives who have had thier sons or husbands sent to Iraq? Adults are better able to cope with such things than children are. Children who have to grow up without fathers and mothers or having to hear from thier parents that they are never going to see certain memebers of their families again. War. That is how adults settle problems.
8 out of 10 children can blame the fact that they have demented thoughts in thier minds on the war. "No, they can't." Listen. If they can blame their violant behaviors on Eminem and video games, why not the war. They have been taught from a young age that violence doesn't sovle anything but in any history class we are taught how people have bettered the world through war. Many children might think that the wars over boundaries and empires is over but had to face the grim reality that war never stops when the Twin Towers were raized by the Al Queda. We got angry and declared war and now we have a big grown-up fight that children think is nothing but stupidity.
Children realise more than adults think. Adults don't hear the conversations that happen at school lunch tables or in backyards when children have a chance to be away from adults and talk about what they think and their ideas so that they can be heard out, taken seriously, and speak freely in the knowledge that they can't be told they are wrong. Adults mostly never take children or even teenagers for that matter seriously. If they don't take us seriously, why should we take this war seriously. Adults say that we can't see the war through their eyes, that they know things and reasons deeper than any child can see. We see the war for what it really is: STUPIDITY PERSONIFIED!!!
So, why should children be able to run things? When we have a problem, first we may have some hostility against one another, we might throw a few punches, but in the end we can usually talk it out....or we might resort to rock, paper, scissors to discover who is right or who gets the land or whatever it is we are fighting for. And i assure you that if a teenager or even a child had a potential member of the Al Queda in our hands we would not let him go before we have identified them, whereas adults, already having been tested in this situation, LET HIM GO!!!
WHY? WHY? WHY???
It's like tag or hide and seek. A child knows that when you have someone who is not on your team or with your group that you hold onto that person for all you are worth or you will be stuck being "it" again.
So, in conclusion, all the adults need to hand the earth over to children or prepare for a revolution. Using the internet we will reach children and teens all over the globe and persuade them into helping us overthrow the adults and end all war once and for all.... unless it's the card game that is. |
