Whoa there, harried housewife! Ease up on that accelerator as you fishtail your Ford Excursion SUV monstrosity around your gated community and desperately balance that 64-ounce Starbucks coffee from sloshing over your plump thighs.

You may not realize it, but as your 6 kids in the back seats move cartoon characters around on the Nintendo Entertainment System and shove fistfuls of Cheetos and gallons of Cokes down their throats, your kids are getting fatter and dummer!

With no proper influence from public or private life, our kids can only become the gross caricatures we wrongly hold up for them to follow. While public education teachers bestow lifeless facts on confused students, parents finish them off by leading soap opera-like lives in desperate pursuit of material living. Hollywood actors and your worthless local newspaper further berate children's innocence with the message that there is no dignified and right way of living.

Once we fully corrupt our kids then the experts can diagnose them with having a problem to be treated symptomatically. A fine trick this is, for once the kid's fatness or attention deficit has Broccoli or Ritalin thrown at it, the focus shifts away from the deeper understanding, and original cause, of the child's misshapen and uninterested person.

The simple truth is that kids are thoroughly bored at their Trivial Pursuit schools and with their lackadaisical parents. No longer inspired to reach for higher aspirations, they take matters into their own hands and reach for the mindless attentions of the X-box, the lard potato chips, or the latest singing sensation.

Look no further than your friend, “50 cent [sic].” This criminal half-wit rapper offers an apparently valid path to our bewildered and assaulted youth in America: murdering, smoking crack balls, and having hoes and bitches.

How is it that such a monster singing praise of and leading a life attesting to this foulness can capture the imaginations of hordes of young people? Simple. Because  our dummest generation is a directionless blob of quivering Jell-O inside, they latch onto and resonate with those outside of themselves who provide direction, faulty though it may be.

A few churches here and there spout some nonsense about not coveting thy neighbor's wife and not killing people, but who really wants to listen to that when we can look at 50 cent's tattoos and aggressive posturing? or Britney Spears' (another singing sensation) nice round butt?

When no one knows any better than the next person, the child's perception becomes as valid as the adults—a common trend in demoralized societies. Because many adults never mature emotionally or morally, they identify with impatience and "if it feels good do it" stimulus: the immature outlook of a child.

Higher aspirations in our society have been downgraded to “Biggie-sizing” your hamburger and fries order at your nearest gut busting fast food joint. Our infuration at the crackling and interrupting voice over the Mcdonald's drive through speaker should remind us of our shame to hear some kids precede their brief efforts at speaking with, “I done did…” or “You ain't gots…” —an immense failure of the unaware teachers and parents steeped in such nonsense.

So who should be in charge?

    A. The child,

    B. The education system, or

    C. 50 cent (or “Fitty” as I fondly call him)?

Answer: D. None of the above. The parents, or husband and wife, have the call to responsibility to encourage loftier interests for their comatose and babbling children.

Parents must speak out against these inane schooling methods and if necessary, yank their kids out of these public drools and into higher values driven schools or home schooling. Parents must unstick their kids' backsides from the vinyl TV couch, remove their sausage fingers from the fried pork rinds bag, and take them away from the corruption of the street corner.

Encourage kids to be interested in life once again. Let them explore and discover the vastness of their creative potential within proper moral guidelines. Lift from children the discouraging public school mandate of only becoming a mindless worker ant. Let the various forms of media entertainment know they must cease their propaganda encouragement of degraded human relationships.
