To The Youth Of The 21st century 2011 12/03/20110 Comments The under 30 crowd needs to check the over forty crowd, what kind of mess are they leaving these struggling young folks in... Still teaching them that Materialism, Hedonism, and Egoism, is the order of the day, never taking up the cause. "Yeah, party over here”. “shake your booty", spend your money on Gucci, and do not forget to blame the youth. Tell them lies about being good, tell them go to college and go to church. Then you will get a good job, and you won’t be beat down, or go to one of those new prisons they are building for you. You teach them to Ignore facts, and speak only opinions, opinions like. "remember boys and girls...all authorities are not all bad" I remember even as a burn victim, in the middle of my pain: I remember the fireman pushing up on me. I felt so vulnerable, I couldn't even talk. Memories of that, overrides the pain. The point is they take advantage of the vulnerable so why mention the few that might be good, causing guards to go down. Like they did with the pedophile priest and the people never rose. Pretending things were normal kept children in harm’s way, basically no one wanted to leave their comfort zone. How many hangings and killings, abuse of authority will the masses contend with before the truth is owned? Younger ones watching the Older ones passing down those Step and Fetch -it...messages; Cowards, blaming the youth; When they should be asking them for forgiveness for dropping the ball. But instead they drop opinions, ignoring facts... and blame the youth for acting, like they act. This generation is left out in the cold. Trying to survive a new war with outdated ammunition. This is to my young people...I love you...I will never give up on you; But do not amuse yourself to death. Find your serious side, In serious times.... take care of your business and then have fun! This environment is friendly. Organize survival groups... learn to ignore the losers. Use your Wisdom And intuition. Pay attention to details... and know your enemy. Do not react to buzz words...know what " Buzz words" are.! We shall talk later that! ... OH, never ever disrespect the givers of life. your mother’s sisters or your wives...Even if she's the worse woman you have ever seen. Never rape, or delight in others pulling trains. Take your rightful place. As leaders, remember, most of our roads were paved by slaves. Slaves who could barely read if they could read at all! Not much has changed knowledge was even lost! You need to know how to plant and grow. Entrepreneurship is what you need to know. (OK, ok ! we shall talk later.) love. love love...No ego, no hedonism, no materialism. Remember do not "humor yourself to death".
