As a society we seem to have a fetish when it comes to the welfare of "the children". For example, take a look at some of the laws in the U.S. Theres now a data base set up for sexual crimes so that everyone knows who they are. Our next door neighbor could have murdered someone and we likely would never know, but if this person comitted a sex crime against a minor he is marked on this public list. We go to unbelievable heights to make sure our tv progamming is censored so that "the children" won't see Janet Jacksons boobs. If a man is late on child support we make this civil offense into a crime and put him in jail.....

So then why is it that we as a society don't give a rats ass about the future of our children in terms of global warming and clean abundant energy? And in the case of the U.S., we seem to care not a rip as to whether we borrow money from our children.

Could it be that we really don't give a shit about the children after all?

What do you guys think?
I totally agree, we as a nation seem to overlook many things that threaten our children, and more so our great grandchildren, while concentrating on just a few things that make us mad for moral reasons. We have no webpage that is well known that shows all the CEO that threaten the future of our children with industrial polution, or those in politics who create taxes for the next generation to pay back, just so we can have "no new taxes" our self. No webpage of photos of those who really are stockpiling nukes or generating nuclear waste. And other thing that might rape our children their rights to a future that is safe, happy, and bright, such a future has be aborted by our very lack of concern for those children, here and yet to be.

Oh, we got a photo of Saddam for his WMDs and so everyone knows the "one offender" - but as it turns out he should not even be on the list.

No taboo for bombs, only for boobs. One is for blowing infants apart, the other used to nurse infants. Football violence okay, but cheerleaders, please cover up. For the children????

Well, i think i like your post, thanks for bringing up the topic.
