Many people have looked at the world and its operations and thought that it just isn't right and someone needs to fix the World. So many million of people want to run the World but no one wants to fix it, you see that is hard work. Many would rather relegate that responsibility to the next generation and use their energies to fix everything.
So, whereas I agree that we need to help Africa, fix the system of government and stop polluting, some times I wonder if using hypocrites to decide how to shape the minds of the next generation are indeed the best way to do that. Speaking on all sides of the issue and those who move the human endeavor forward; that is to say World Leaders, Politicians, Artists, Media, Religious Folks and academia. They in fact want to train the next generation to do that for them and use their energy of youth to move the mountains of bureaucracy and barriers in the way.
Don't we owe it to ourselves to fix the problem now and not leave it for the next generation? Haven't all the past generations already done that? What happened? Nothing. Still the same, yes we need to work on the next generation, but if we do, we need to have a good and proper, morally correct system for the species in place when we pass the baton; because if we pass the gas instead along with the torch they are liable to cook them selves. Thus they will have no more chance to fix the problems than our grandparents or their grandparents or those before them. Think on this in 2006, as we have work to do that cannot wait.
