...........

Certainly yours is a valid "message", (not just on the surface but in its deeper implications.)

And yet, i think many children would be disappointed in its "fatalism"...

....for it doesn't address the issue of WHY there are no jobs out there, or more succinctly, WHY WE ADULTS HAVE ALLOWED FOR THERE TO BE...no jobs out there.

Also, it doesn't really answer their main question, which would be something like..."WHAT, REALLY, IS A "JOB?"

Also, it would seem, they wonder why there seems to be no place for the idealism that is common currency for all youth, and that besides "role models" of very little worth or moral stature, there are no real "heros" , or, as they might put it, "proud Warriors" amongst the people who establish the "tone" for the society.

They intuitively know "liberalism" is wrong; however, besides hearing that "conservatives" value "VALUES"....they seem to be questioning, (and with few answers) exactly what we are talking about.

And, I would tend to agree with them.

And so, the very real and cogent questions remain...in that our children remain......"out there"

and it isn't really a very "nice" place to be!!!
