If the Children Are Our Future...



... then we need to seriously consider what we're going to do about the evil ones.

I'm serious - I'm talking about the truly evil ones, like the two eleven year old boys in England who earlier this year, lured two other boys out in to the woods where they then "robbed the boys of pocket money and a mobile phone before battering them with bricks, stabbing them with a sharpened stick, burning them with cigarettes, forcing to eat nettles and making them perform a sex act together".

If that wasn't enough, the two antichrists then picked up a broken sink abandoned nearby and dropped it on the head of one of the boys, then tied a noose around his neck before finally throwing him down a former railway embankment where they left him for dead.

An isolated incident? Um, afraid not - just open today's paper or go online to CNN and read about the five boys in Florida who, on Monday, doused a 15 year old boy with alcohol, SET HIM ON FIRE and then stood LAUGHING as they watched him burn. Why? Because the kid owed one of the kids forty bucks for a video game. SEVERAL of those boys were still laughing today when they were put into custody.

$40. Michael Brewer is now suffering in a hospital bed, 80% of his body covered in 2nd degree burns, because a group of asshole kids thought they would teach him a lesson because he owed one of them a pissing $40.

Sometimes, I am so sickened by this world that I feel bringing a child into it would be the most selfish choice I could ever make. It's bad enough worrying about what could happen to my precious child (anyone watch Oprah today?) but it's even worse worrying that my child could end up like one of the demons mentioned above: I don't believe that all evil children have evil parents. Many do, yes, but there are also many good people who beget evil children: what if I am one of them?

I am saying this on record here and now: if my child EVER plotted and executed a vicious attack on another breathing creature, I would have that child institutionalized and I would personally monitor his or her progress in order to determine the root of his or her evil. I would blame myself. I would look for source of my failure. I would hope that my child could be rehabilitated. I would spend every moment of my life praying for his or her soul. I would hope it was an isolated incident that was the result of a temporary chemical imbalance.

If my child ever committed such horrors and then laughed about it? Laughed a laugh that wasn't an expression of nerves? Well, then I would ask the court to take that child and put them somewhere far removed from the rest of the world. And I wouldn't want to know where. And I wouldn't blame myself. And I wouldn't entertain anyone who even uttered the word rehabilitation.

Why? Because that laughter would indicate to me that 1). it wasn't an isolated incident and more importantly that 2). my child was soulless.

So, What's La Pointe of It All? There are bad, selfish people and then there are evil, soulless people and then, worst of all, there are evil, soulless children who, I truly believe, if they aren't separated from the rest of society permanently, are going to be the ones to inherit this earth and then set it on fire and laugh while the good people burn.
