Here. Read this. It’s an LA Times article.

(And when/if that link goes bad, I’ve mirrored it here.)

Should I bother saying that Mike Males kicks all kinds of ass, or is that a given?:cute:

I’d so love to get a hold of one of his or other pro-youth books out there. I could use the youth rights ammo! I could use the caulk to patch holes in my arguments.

But, well, getting back to the matter at hand, let’s have a look at the aforementioned article.

You know, that article was really making me dislike people in their 40s and 50s! Yes, I realize that’s exactly the kind of age-based generalizations youth rights supporters are trying to eliminate, but really I hear all this stuff about the so-called Baby Boomers and just think “It’s all their fault!” It’s all their fault, but no one gives a shit.

Our society is perpetually fed the notion that young people are the bad guys. Young people are the criminals. Young people are destroying the world. Young people are irresponsible, violent, lazy, and incompetent. Young people think they know everything and are out to destroy themselves and everyone else. Young people are fat and have health problems. Young people this. Young people that. We have to protect them. We have to be tough with them. They’re being led down a moral sewer. We have to hide “bad” things from them. We have to make them remember they are still children.

Enough, I say!:doitnow:
