Erotic Ramblings

In the fight of what is right, of good versus evil, the main battleground lies in the classrooms of schools the world over. It is in those classrooms, those halls of learning where today’s leaders learn valuable lessons, but it is also where the Osama’s of the world learn to hate, learn to distort reality.

Whether it is the Pontiff or a Republican State Assemblyman, or a Democratic Nominee for President, it is in the schools where the real war against good and evil are won or lost. Right now, in the United States it is being lost hand over fist. With archaic notions that raging hormones can be bested by teaching Abstinence, by altering the truth about life and about differences, the fight for good is losing.

“Youngsters have always used insulting language with their friends and it is perfectly normal.” (story)

Nations like Canada, the United Kingdom get this salient point. They know that bullying, that ignoring the homophobic comments of other kids is not going to solve problems, but is going to ascerbate them over time. They know that bullying today among kids, leads to worse things when they are grown ups. It is why gay bashing IS a Hate Crime in Canada.

Why isn’t it in the United States?

Because in schools today, peer groups to teach that differences are not threatening, are denied, if they talk about homosexuality. They are forced into long drawn out legal battles just to get heard, and the argument against them, is from those who are sworn to protect ALL CITIZENS. Only in America and other DICTATORSHIPS does homophobia not rate protection.

Just like Muslim Immans teach that to hate is okay, that GOD supports them in murdering innocent people because they are Jewish, or because they Americans, just like Popes who spew their own venom against governments that take protecting all citizens seriously, schools across America today teach racism, intolerance. To deny children ALL THE FACTS, is no different than keeping them at home and not teaching them how to read, simply because you have decided they will drive a tractor and have no need to read anything.

Fact is today, that kids are being abused, and not just by parents or friends, but by the very government sworn to protect them. Oh sure they pass nice laws, like 2257 or such, but do they really protect kids? Hell one of the architects of the latest round of child protection laws, the Adam Walsh Bill,  is in rehab now, hiding because he tried to seduce young boys. These are the people who are saying that Homophobia is just a phase, that send signals to young children that hate is okay, as long as it is against Queers.

Drugs are rampant and violent crimes are common place. Solutions to problems bring discourse and acrimony, all because there is no balances. Schools no longer provide safe haven for kids, no longer nurture the independent spirit of man, instead they show daily that hate is good, that racism is preferred over equality. This is what is happening, because some belief that GOD hates Queers.

Maybe the question should be, why does anyone do drugs? I wish I had an easy answer to it, because then maybe things in the world might be different. See I have this notion that you need to treat the Cause not the symptom. Guess that makes me odd because even in medicine today it isn’t that way. They treat symptoms more than what causes it, like say High Blood Pressure. They give you a pill and monitor the BP and that’s about it. Goes up later on, well they up the dosage of pills, but then that seems how we approach things today.

Kids are seeing it and today the studies say drug use among teens is down, except for prescription medications. Course I wonder, how accurate is this study? I mean seems to me more kids are shooting up schools, arrested for plotting to bomb their schools, than ever. Seems that you hear about more people being raped while under the influence, more frat houses suspended for rowdy parties or such. Yet the study says illegal narcotic use is down a bit across the board. (story) Like where do these kids live that are responding?

In the Vatican City State?

I shouldn’t be surprised though. I mean Illegal Immigrants come in aren’t effecting wages one bit, plus they do jobs the average citizen supposedly won’t do. So how come there is unemployment? I mean it does exist, so obviously there are able bodied people not working, so guess this is just another example of politicians justifing their inaction. And I wonder, is that also why this study shows continued decline in hard drug use, except for prescription and over the counter drugs? (story)
When schools advertise for Joe & Jane Average to finance text books, and then a study comes out saying drug use is down, I have a hard time buying it. I just don’t see it, and given the constant barrage of news reports talking about drug deals going bad, of tons of drugs entering the country almost daily, I find it hard to swallow that this study is even close to reflecting reality.

What gets me though, is why do we do it? I mean it isn’t just the kids turning to drugs, but many adults as well. It is in fact a major industry of its own, but why? Are we looking for cheap thrills, or do we somehow think it makes us perform better in life? in the sack? Is it to fit in or does it go deeper than those superficial explanations?

For myself, I believe it is deeper. I think it comes from dissatisfaction from our lives, from our own inabilities to advance ourselves, or as an edge to advance. Whether it is to get ahead in our career or to have unrealistic goals set for us, we feel the need to get an edge, by the use of drugs. Sure it might be shown to us from our role models and peers, but surely we have our own ethics? Or do we? Are we so enamored with the hype created by Madison Avenue that we have forgotten the principles that truly do mean things? Have we traded our self respect for a shiny new car with 8 sub speakers and a dvd player?

Is this perhaps the real legacy we are living and about to pass on to the next generation? One of being sheep and followers of those who shout the loudest? Is it even possible to change back or have we lost our way too much already? I don’t know but when I look at kids today, at the essentials they claim to need, I cower a little. I mean kids today can barely figure out if they got the right change from MacDonalds, assuming the kid behind the till can figure out the cash register system to make change.

Schools have a lack of books, but does it matter? I mean most can’t read anyhow so why spend money on books. Teachers say they’ll teach better if they get paid more, but they agreed already to do that last contract time. What messages is that sending our kids? Or when Politicians and Religious leaders line up and say you can’t have sex until you are married, but 95% say they had sex before marriage. So was it that bad that now they don’t want anyone else to do it? or was it that good?

Perhaps it is this double standard, this total lack of consistency that has confused an entire generation. Perhaps it is this mantra that in protest of politicians voters will stay home, that has the next generation tuning out and turning on. Is it their way and ours too, of relieving the stress of living in a society of total hypocrisy or is there more to it? Is it a lack of hope that they can make a difference when they see voting machines fail but results are unaffected?

The elders of society, the brains and leaders talk about family values, about ethics but refuse to limit campaign contributions or support those who are under invetigation by giving them key appointments. It makes no sense when they shout how someone can’t do this or that, then turn around and say it should be discussed.

Maybe the question shouldn’t be why do they do it, but why don’t they do it sooner.
