ok. i feel i'm a decent mediator here, because i'm in between generations and i'm in between ages. i also have little interest in either antagonist.

the way i see it is that young people have a lot of bent up frustrations, right now. this is a trivial example, really - but it demonstrates a larger point. let's forget about the arguments for a minute and who's right and who's stupid. is a strongly emphasized pejorative a rhetorical smack down, nowadays, anyways? what is demolished, here? the child's play pin?

but, look at the anger. the bent up rage. the bottled up hate.

live this:

don't move
don't talk out of time
don't think
don't worry
everything's just fine
just fine
just fine

don't grab
don't clutch
don't hope for too much
don't breathe
don't achieve
or grieve without leave

don't check
just balance on the fence
don't answer
don't ask
don't try and make sense

don't whisper
don't talk
don't run if you can walk
don't cheat, compete
don't miss the one beat

know nothing else.

you'd be kind of testy, too. i get it, man. i gave up. fuck that.

policies aside, this anger needs to be dealt with by analyzing the system of order that fused it into such a frighteningly explosive mess. if some pressure is not relieved, the whole thing might blow.
