Indoctrination

[Ninurta]

The youth will be banning all our holidays next. They've torn down statues, removed true history information from the internet, now they're just waiting to get some of these air heads into the government to make our laws.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm old. If the world keeps going in this direction, I don't want to be here.

I know the feeling.

I've recently come to the conclusion that most of this world is no longer mine, it's theirs now. We delivered them a world they could work with, and if they want to break it, that's going to be their problem, not mine.

It wasn't a perfect world we gave them, not by any stretch of the imagination, but look at what they have now, technology-wise, compared to what we had when we were their age. I grew up trotting to an outhouse out back whenever nature called, and I doubt any of the younger generation even has a clue how to operate one. Contrast that with not even having to leave the house because your video game is in play, Facebook is calling, and your "smart phone" gives you everything else you need. I doubt they could even find the flush handle in an outhouse (that's an insider joke there, for the uninitiated).

So now, when they say "ok, boomer", I just smile and say "ok, kiddo - it's your world now... handle it!"

We did.
