Rant

Imagine a world with intelligent children and ruined roads.
That is not and never will be California.
Why do we put money into fucked up roads and nothing into education?
It's like moving backwards.

I'm on this rant cause today I read an article in the Bohemian that stated that our generation is money-wasting, future complete debt, and has no sense in money saving whatsoever. They actually referred us to the "iPod" Generation.

What I have to say about this is yes. Your completely right, we, as a nation and a community, are as stupid with money as you can get. But who is to blame? Why are we blaming a 'generation'?

If that's how they wanna play it off then the 'generation' we should be blaming is the one with the most power. Right? Why are parents/adults putting their money into stocks for Macintosh and not into their childrens education? There would be no iPods or iMacs or anything if there was no one to back them up with money. Sure you could use the excuse that it's for the economy but you know that's bullshit. We're not only wasting money, we're burning it. I can't say anything to the people that decide that they should put everything onto our generation's shoulders and give up because they fucked things in the first place.

It's YOUR generation that needs to get their shit together, ours has hardly reached a point of social and economic stability let alone the ability to control funds that we get from our parents or our shitty paying jobs.

So don't give into the crap spewed from adults that WE are the ones who are in debt or have knowledge of handling money. We are here to learn; from mistakes and from the people who have already made those mistakes. Stop putting your money into stupid useless technology and put it into education. The only ones to blame for any of that is adults with the power and the 'knowledge' who don't do anything but lay blame and then go off and put their money into fixing roads.


PS: When I see a sidewalk that's all screwed up from a tree right next to it, I don't see a problem, I see a ramp... to jet off of on a bike or a skateboard.
