Twenty Years From Now, You Will Lie To Your Children
by David Michael Green
...............
............It was bad enough that we lived for as long as we did at a greedy and unsustainable level, stealing from other peoples, from our environment, from brown and female workers, and even from our own children. But now it's getting much, much worse.
In twenty years those children are all too likely to be living poor, on a hostile planet, working long hours to pay down the sins of their fathers.
And they might well be enraged, too, as they should be.
A decade or two from now, if they confront their right-wing elders - gazing in anger and astonishment at the bottomless capacity of their parents' selfishness - you can safely bet that their questions will be met with dissembling deception.
Twenty years from now, regressives will lie to their children.
We know this because those regressives are already lying today, covering their execrable crimes the only way possible.
With deceit.

4. It is my fervent hope
The kids all over the world now will grow up and say "**** it" it the elite of the world and refuse to be economic units. If EVERYONE just decided all on the same day to stop paying the mortgage or the rent and continued to live there, stopped going to work and started living off the grid in small communities instead - I mean just absolutely kill off globalism -
Well, a crazy dream I know.
How many of those hippy communes from the 60's are left? Most of those people grew up to be productive citizens, the rest still vote Dimrat and post on Skin's Island.

8. A great way to
be green is to not be a breeder. Skip the whole kids thing. It's low level biological programming anyway.
In addition, I wish people would stop being mindless consumers. I still remember that vid where people literally ripped the doors off of a Walmart, and trampled one another just to get to the latest gaming console. At least one person died and I am not sure how many were injured. Plastic garbage only fills the hole temporarily. Besides that the "hole" is artificially created anxiety and inadequacy fashioned by marketing/media.
Yet you DUmmies insist on taking from others just so that lazy bums like yourselves can buy that plastic garbage.

10. The best way to be green is to starve to death.
It's low level biological programming anyway.
That way population goes down AND consumption goes down.
Hear, Hear!! If every DUmmie on the Island followed that advice , it would make the world a better place.
