Is there sand in your ears from having your head buried?

I know "these kids", thousands upon thousands of them, both in college and out, and that doesn't, and wouldn't, change a thing I am saying.

They are the product of broken adults who have taught them all the hate they can. Broken adults can't breed their way out of the problem by birthing whole children, because they teach them to be just as broken. And un.til the adults fix themselves, the problem will never be resolved.
