Maybe they should be going back to school. That philosophy BA won't pay the bills you know, and that band idea's not going anywhere.

(my bad.. remember kids this is what happens when you don't check youtube links)

They died because of a bloated military-industrial complex, run by intelligent people with posh degrees and a vested interest in keeping the proletariat both tractable and productive. This is not advice, it is a threat; a promise of what will be done to the underclasses if they do not report to their officially designated state-run facilities for rote indoctrination, as prescribed by Australia's social and intellectual elite.

It may also be an allegory for the Great e-Barrier Reef, highlighting the fatal futility of young people's attempts to push through the fences of benevolent paternalism and frolic irresponsibly on the shores of freedom. Without the ACMA, there is only anarchy and death!

Evilhomer are you a writer?
Your posts are voluminous but also always logical and expressively written.

Thanks, Mr Cat! But no, I mostly just write here on PoeTV, a mute inglorious Milton who's too lazy and unconfident to try something more productive.

(my ex, whom I'm sure I've alluded to before, was an intensely literary woman with a Masters in English and ambitions in the publishing field. Before she walked out on me, she told me I was a shite writer. I've never really recovered.)

Thats just her like, opinion, man!

You're a great writer EH and if you blogged I'd read it.

That won't work on young people, they all think that in 20 years aliens will be running the show, or the illuminati, or.. you know

When you're a teen you've only got maybe a little more than a decade you can remember. So twenty years is pretty much two lifetimes.

Actually 20 years is way to long an estimate, 10 or less would do it np if they start getting pregnant now.
Also one thing I forgot in my previous diatribe..
Trying to escape via awful TV.
