A note to daddy...



According to all the studies, for the first time in over a century, this generation is expected to have poorer schooling, make less money, and have a shorter life span than the preceding generation. All this has come about due to government regulation changes during the last six years. Okay, so the clock has run out and everything is downhill from here. Well, too bad – who cares about a bunch of whiney…Wait a minute – this generation? That means me! It sounds like the current crop of short-sighted politicians are trying to ruin my life and then kill me off.

Although that should come as no surprise to anyone who has more than two brain cells to rub together, frankly, I’m taking this personally. You were in charge before I got here. How can you be so stupid? It’s not unlike the idiots who dumped pollutants into the ground water, rivers, oceans, and air until lakes caught fire and acid rained from the sky, or the bozos who had sex with everyone under the sun, spreading every kind of disease imaginable so that now, nobody can have sex with anybody, in spite of the big blue pill that makes it possible for old people to creep us young people out completely.

Let’s face it – there’s not going to be any social security left for us by the time we get there, we won’t be able to afford the drugs you now take for granted, and only the very rich and pampered will be able to live anyway. Maybe you’re doing me a favor. Maybe dying young will be a good thing.

But, since there seems to be zero likelihood that you’re going to look out for future generations, do you know what I want? I want to grow up and become so wealthy that I can afford the kind of world that YOU are voting into existence – I want to be so rich that voting Republican makes sense – that’s what I want. Then let’s see just how much I attention I pay to which nursing home you go into.

Come on people, I know I'm only a little bear, but surely things can be better.
