- NEW!

Yes - by an apathetic, abscessed school system complete with completely inappropriate lunch selection for growing kids being forced to not only sit still for more than 8 hours a day, but to sit still for more than 8 hours while enduring the mockery of learning they call that force-feeding they do nowadays; by a constant assault of industrial byproducts, and even products, and the chemicals of unrecorded effect therein; by a fluoridated water system, despite a mountain of evidence that fluoride's dental benefits offset the harm they do to the body; by a never-ending stream of ants, spiders, and tree roaches all pumped up on Dow chemicals crawling around on my property; by a media conglomerate designed to ram its hooks into the deepest, most vulnerable parts of the mind from even before the moment of birth, to drag us through a decaying hellscape of self-destructive, environment-unfriendly, foresight-robbed consumerism throughout our lives; by experts of every field disgusting enough to peddle misinformation, or even worse, spin the truth for the sake of job security; by the short-sighted, power-hungry imbeciles that actually try to pass themselves off as genuine ubermenschen (of which there have been distressingly few these last decades), who don't know the difference between catching the bull by the horns and actually steering the thing; and finally, I am dumbed and robbed of my full potential by the broken, stubborn generations before me that have walked this valley of death I render above, and not come out whole - this being the vast majority of the populace.
.
Teenage wasteland is more than a song - it's the phenomenon by which all that is good and healthy and positive in children is robbed of us by fire and chemicals and hate and wicked, knowing hands.
Timecube, anyone?
