Me the weirdo.

I suppose that I am a weirdo. I suspect that normal is a platform that we should aspire to. Much as I appreciate thinkers such as Maya Angelou, she has a wonderful optimism. Sartre, Darwin, Melville, Spencer, Arouet and London disagreed and I have to run with them. Being a thinker is most often a terrible thing. You worry. You worry about everything and anything. I worry that my children will not be able to work for their longer lives. I worry that my (imagined) grandchildren will have no focus. That there is nothing that they could do other than look after other humans. We that are growing old are no longer looking after the future of our children. In fact we are destroying it. We are making jobs disappear, we are producing an underclass. We are casting good minds into the abyss. What else can we do? Halt progress? No we send our children and grandchildren into a world fueled by money and for the poor to slave to the rich. The French have a saying; "The more that things change the more they remain the same".

I suspect that our future will mirror the past. Hundreds of years with little moral change. Again Britain will have a class system except this time it will be based upon money in an American way. I am beginning to feel sorry for our offspring. We are leaving them in an imperfect world. It is we that made it. I feel guilty and ashamed.
