I understand how parents are all soft and gooey towards their children. I too am of the opinion that my kids are perfect and nothing is too good for them and everyone else’s sucks. Not too many normal, adjusted parents throughout our evolution ( unless we were suddenly created by little green men with genetic engineering when they cleaned up all the hair from and ape and made the jaw less protruding, or god forbid little green men procreated with apes- I’m not sure, but it seems silly to discount any possibility ) ever thought otherwise. And yet, horror of all horrors, some children grew up without SUV drives to soccer, movie night once a week with Orvel Reddenbocker, central heat and air or even a completely balanced and varied and tasty diet. How did they ever manage the trauma!!!!??? Oh, the humanity! I try to place myself in the shoes of the writer who said, “I want my family to thrive, not survive”. I honest injun did. Because I’m a parent, you would think it would have been easy. But guess what. I can’t. My daughter is living in an urban craphole in one of those Carolina places, my son has already signed the papers for delayed entry into the Corps. My baby girl will be in a rioting zoo and my son will be getting shot at and possibly abandoned over in Afghanistan within a year and a half. I would like nothing more than for them to just survive, and I don’t even know if that is possible. You might conclude I’m a heartless asswipe, a subhuman, for picking a fight over someone wanting the best for their family. But for most of us, it is a strategy for failure. Yours and your family. It is the Yuppie mindset that only the best will do. Since you don’t have the resources for the best, you have nothing, and everyone dies.

Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept of available resources? I understand that our public servants have no idea. I understand it is a foreign language to economists. But to the average, hard working, financially abused blue collar schlub? My favorite idiots to hate, Pravda Broadcasting Station, was being all stupid, sucking the wart and dirt encrusted male member of their corporate and fedgov masters, distracting us from the real enemy by blathering on about how black and white incomes are in a bigger gap than ever and how the poor teachers over in Spain ( the international news coverage highlighting how One World Government they are- give me an honest xenophobe any day of the week ) are being laid off. I mean, seriously? The top few percent are rapidly acquiring all this nations wealth ( in the end they will lose it as it is paper based, but that will be small consolation to the rest of us ) and PBS is going to show how Whites, those cruel and heartless bastards, had their incomes drop 10% but the Blacks had them drop 20%!!! Oh my god, that must mean we are all a bunch of cross burning pukes, since us cracker honkie mo-fo’s aren’t suffering as much. I just mention that because it pissed me off. My point is actually the school teachers. I’m quite sure that schoolteachers actually love kids and want the best for them. At least at first until they discover what brain dead little heathen delinquent zombie brats they are. But at the end of the day, they will kiss ass, stab backs, lie like a rug and twist logic around to keep their jobs. It’s for the children, they bleat in a nasally irritating self righteous voice that liberal commie humps are famous for. No, bitch, it’s for your job. The little jerks can be taught at home better. But mom is busy working in a sweat factory because dad can’t make spit at his formerly Unionized job. There aren’t enough resources for Union jobs anymore. There aren’t resources for teachers or for that matter too many of any kind of civil servant anymore ( I love the Orwellian name, civil servant. As if they are toiling under miserable working conditions for a rich and mean spirited boss. If that is the case, I’d like to expose all TSA workers to their own radiation machines and subject them to daily full cavity searches ). And guess what? You don’t have the resources to duplicate a petroleum created diet for prepping purposes.

Ask your children, kids, would you rather have a months supply of shrimp on the Barbie, deep fried imported exotic bush meat, microwave pizza and protein shakes in strawberry or chocolate flavors? Or five years worth of wheat gruel? Every single one of the tykes would vote for the stuff that tastes good. Every one. Because, more often than not, kids are stupid. Okay, sorry, uneducated. As an adult, one who is smart enough to realize we are all going to die, you know better ( as much as I abuse all of you, you are all very welcome that I don’t treat you like overly sensitive special Eds, I will always at least give you brownie points for being smart enough to realize the danger out there ) and it is your job to protect your children. Not to protect them from reality. They must be taught that they can’t have what they always want, before it kills them. To protect them from their own stupidity. That is your task. Of course, first you must protect yourself from illogical, irrational, retarded decision making. Such as failing to recognize the limits of your resources. If you are rich, hey, go for it. Spend five grand per year of food for your family. For the rest of us, eat your friggin gruel, like it, and shut up. Better too much of a boring food than not enough of a perfect food.
