04/10/03: Homeboy, What I Learned as a Child

Posted By: Coaster


1. Don't swim until an hour after you've eaten.

2. Don't run with scissors.

3. Don't hang out with Danny and Big Al. Those kids were always getting sent to Juvey.

4. Don't ever steal anything from anybody.

5. Obey the police. (Calling a policeman a "cop" in those days was considered rude)

6. Stay away from electric power lines.

I'm sure, if L.A. was occupied by weapon toting troops, they would have added

..... 7. Don't throw rocks at the occupying army. You might get shot.

What the hell kind of parents purposely send their kids out in harms way? What the hell kind of society tells their young men and women that the most noble dead they can accomplish is to turn themselves into human bombs and go kill the wives and children of the Israelis? What the hell kind of society keeps their citizens in a refugee camp for fifty-five fucking years? The Arabs have kept these refugee camps for the sole purpose of fermenting desperation and rebellion. After fifty-five years, what other purpose could there be? The refugees could have been resettled fifty-four years ago, but Arafat needs his cannon fodder.
