The American Dream
What in the world has happened to the United States? Once upon a time the U.S. was one of the best places in the world to raise a child, but today it is an absolutely horrible place for children. We physically abuse our children at staggering rates, we pump them full of antidepressants and other pharmaceutical drugs and we send them off to public schools that more closely resemble prison camps every single day. Meanwhile, the economic decline of the America is hitting children far harder than it is hitting the adult population. More than one out of every five children in America is living in poverty and one out of every four children is on food stamps.
How are we supposed to teach our children what liberty and freedom are all about when our public schools are slowly being turned into "Big Brother" prison grids? How can we claim that we are "the greatest nation on earth" when millions of American children are going hungry tonight? The way that we are treating our children is shameful. Sadly, the abuse that we are heaping on to them is going to come out in their behavior as they get older. When we pump our kids full of "legal" drugs and allow the television, movies, video games and public schools to raise them, we should not be surprised when they turn out very sick and twisted.
