Posted by ZP Heller at 11:10 AM on May 7, 2008.


Any similarities to the presidential primary are completely coincidental.

A preschool girl attempts to gain social status through material means only to find out she's been trumped. Any similarities to the presidential primary are completely coincidental.

Not just in the context of the Dem Primary but the values which are being handed down to the next generation.
far too many are intentionally and subliminally teaching children it is not who you are- it's what you have.
My 75 yrs old Mother takes personal responsisblity for her genrations 'spoiling the hell out of the Boomers", and creating "Spoiled Brats". I'm a lttle Sis to the 'Boomers' and wil be stuck with the mess they ahve left behind- Those of US in our 40's will never be able to retire, not just because of the size of the Boomer generation and their Demands to still have it better then their parents even in old age- but beacuse they have Taken all the 'Toys' with them- gutted our economy by shipping out jobs, rigging the Banking and Stock markets and taking out loans they will never have to repay- They'll be retired with their 'golden parachutes' .they not only became the 'Establishment' they destroyed the morals and Principles that had at least acted as Stoppers to unbridled Greed- A human conscience. Heckova Job Boomers! You've managed to screw your parents, your siblings, your kids,the nation and the World in 40 short years!
