Now children are
drilled in reading, spelling, math and the like BEFORE they even hit
Kindergarten! before they have a grasp on anything, they are being molded, shaped,
prepared for a life of running here and there...the college race, prep, prep,
prep...test, test, test. Is it any wonder that with whatever free time they
might wrest from the race they will be in until they are old enough to retire
but too old to enjoy same, they spend in the mindless meditation of a video
game.... and to top it off because of the greed and selfishness of the men in
control, even that date of restricted freedom, retirement.... is being pushed
later and later in life. Now they are discussing taking summer away from children"..
they already got recess, where i really learned group participation...sharing
and good manners. I ask you truly...has any of this helped? Is this country still a mess educationally?
Will stealing the last vestiges of childhood help? Or is it really
babysitting you need? babysitting so that both parents can slave away,
leaving their children in the care of others that cost almost as much, as the time wrested away from the kids, to
earn the money to pay the child care, while you work non stop til 70 or beyond?...it
this the world you want to make????...where even the family is shredded to the
point of semi non existence? Who benefits...you?...your children?...your
family? Or is someone else benefiting from what you have given up?
They say in the
purest form of slavery the slaves believe they are free.....is freedom really
being able to chose any car in the aisle?
Or choosing to use the free time, you used to have, to spend with
your children? In a movie i really suggest everyone see, if for no other
reason to understand what our native brothers have to live like on the Rez., "Thunderheart," John Trudell,
[poet, musician, actor and activist, and my personal hero, role model]
who plays the Jimmy character, says something profound..."We
[the Native people]... know the difference between the illusion of
freedom and the reality of freedom!" Do you?
Look to your
children...what are you doing to them? What are you doing for them?
Is money and a good college that they will pay for receiving most of
their lives, worth the loss of freedom, childhood, and family?... could
you get by few fewer possessions and more time with family. Who controls
the economy that forces you to skimp on family life just to survive?
Wolves learn by playing"..i learned the most important lessons of my life
playing...is sacrificing the emotional stability of your children worth the
loss of play, of life, of deep family love earned by time spent together.
Is burying our children in one institution after another really going to
make life better?...who told you that?...and what was their agenda?
