Apparently Harry Potter is forcing children to drink Coke. When oh when will people start taking responsibility for their own lives and those of their children instead of looking for anything or anyone else to blame?
Oh my gosh! Harry Potter has a sword on in the picture on the news story... Harry Potter is telling children to slay each other with swords. He must be stopped!

I understand what you are saying. My mother and I had many discussion about my generation before that book came out regarding the lack of a unity that we demonstrated and how the only thing we seemed to have in common was our cynicism (and skepticism). I suppose in many ways we were born with our cynicism. As I said to bgsi (somewhere in there) I don't think we are anymore critical of our parent's generation than they were of their's. Every generation has it's own hypocrisy as will our's. When our children come of age they will rail against us and what we did or did not do. It seems to me to be an important part of the cycle of change.

It's the dialectic...the normal ebb and flow of social sentiment. Hegel was a genius.
