I think most kids are growing up with kids of other races and traditions and are much more aware of what is going on with this regressive system so I can understand their depression. I’m 78 and absolutely distressed, disgusted, depressed and enraged so I’m hoping the new generations will use their energy to help us make things better for their futures
