Okay, so I lied. I lied for good reason though. I lied so that I could make this page look better. In the Internet, there is no time. Just because I go to bed doesn't mean that millions of people (optimism) who read the page later will recognize that, even if I say I went to bed. It's just one stream of words, and other than the time posted at the bottom of each one of these, the only element of time here are the days displayed above these posts. So rather than go to bed and then post this later today, pretending it's tomorrow, I'll just post it today and not post anything when I wake up. Or maybe I will. I don't know.
Anyways, I came back to talk about Martin Luther King, Jr. He's a great man. That's pretty obvious to most of us. However, with today being Martin Luther King, Jr. day, millions of kids across America get a day off of school. And how many know why, or, to word it better, remember why? It's safe to say that most every child enrolled in a school knows about Martin Luther King, Jr. They know what he brought to America, why he was important. And at one time, they no doubt learned why they have Martin Luther King, Jr. day off of school. However, there's no guarentee that they remember what they learned on Martin Luther King, Jr. day. No, most kids run off and play, thinking this day is just one of those days where the schools decide they need some time off. People say there's problems with America's youth, and while they're definitly right when they stay vauge like that, when they try to diagnose just what these problems are, they tend to be horribly wrong. Sorry, but adults cannot figure out this tangled mess most of my peers have gotten themselves into. The problem with America's youth is that they don't know what they're doing. I know. I've been there. I damn TV for it. Of course, to contradict that statement, I watched earlier today. The Simpsons (which I've come to find is the ONLY acceptable TV show to watch now), The Chamber and an old repeat of Greed on Game Show Network. Everything but The Simpsons was mindless. I seem to remind myself of that whenever I watch a TV show. Basically, I think children are stupid. Stupid, and easily brainwashed. Should I ever turn evil, I think the way to brainwash all the children into my evil plan to take over the world is through TV. Get some fuzzy character with a machine gun who can kill a huge monster to hand out subliminal messages. And then worry it'd be cancelled by some other show just like it in six months.
If all that sounded drunken or stupid, it's because I'm tired. Or am a child. I need some sleep to help me decide.
