Never trust anyone over 12.

Yeah. We’re going to hell.

    My advice to y’all is to start drinking heavily.

  2. mojo says:

    Good advice at most times.

    I’m thinking back now a long way to when I was your age

    we kids asked our parents and their generation

    our parents’ generation couldn’t answer that question

    things about our world that you know that older people don’t know

    out of date

    the old assumptions sometimes just don’t work anymore

    the old flawed assumptions of the past

    new understandings are more apparent to young people

    what the older people of that time thought

    changes in understanding take place when the old assumptions fade away

    And not one of these “best and brightest” asked hey why should we believe a fat codger like you? That’s the scariest part of it really.

    My thoughts exactly, feets. But it’s like the Question Authority bumpersticker: you’re not supposed to question the bumpersticker.

  5. Joe says:

    I heard this on Glenn Beck when the guy told him he taped Al Gore saying it.

    Boy I love technology! And I love the internet for spreading the news. Ironic that Al Gore is taken down by something he invented.

  6. Dave E. says:

    For some reason this comes to mind:

    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Good thing I started drinking heavily after Jeff’s last post.

    Looks like Al Gore’s simply laying down the groundwork for the one!

    This is simply a test case for the Obama youth…

    Are you surprised that they are turning our youth against us? That’s part of the Billy Ayers pedagogy paridigm…And it’s been going on for a looooooong time…

    It’s part of the explanation of O!s election; the long term indoctrination, an entire generation of our youth, conditioned to respond in a Pavlovian fashion to the dog-whistle calls of the identity politics peddlers…

    It’s our collective faults though, for not being righteously Outraged! when they presumed the primary right to instill a value system in our children. Nope, too many sat back and delegated them that very authority…

    Reforming this nation begins by reforming the schools. When they finally teach children the lessons they need for lifelong learning, instead of focusing on divisive historical episodes that prolong outrage, the class warfare that is passed off as social justice, phony racial and “cultural” studies, and revisionist versions of our nations history, then society will begin a much needed return to responsible and intelligent self-governance…

    He is showing that he knows just as much about Galileo and the Catholic Church as he does about the actual science of climate and firearms safety.

    Gore and the NEA and all the rest, they got nuthin’. Sure they can waste our children’s youth and keep them away from a sensible and thoughtful education with their indoctrination, and they can try to enlist our children in their PolPot/Mao schemes of indignation and “truth to mom and dad”, but until they start handing out guns and brass knuckles to little Johnny and Mary, like Mao and PP did, I ain’t worried. Our kids are too busy diddling each other, doing drugs, playing sports, saving up for a car, not wearing enough clothes etc… for any indoctrination to truly take hold. Sophists only got words and talk is cheap and not anything like a guillotine. And the good news is every blue moon a Carter or Obama come along and set just enough of the nation to thinking right again. It’s already happening. Al Gore taking his message to the youth is proof that he ain’t got nuthin’. Next thing he’ll be making cds for mother’s to play to their fetuses. Converting the young is the second to last stop on the Sophist Express. The last stop for such folk is standing on a street-corner in soiled jeans pointing at the sky and murmuring to yourself about asparagus gasoline.

  12. BJTexs says:

    I’ve told this story before but it’s worth repeating:

    I direct a Jr. choir at a church for nd to 5th graders. We were chatting while waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive when one of the kids mentioned that he and his family were headed out to Florida to visit Disney world. One of my forth grade boy’s eyes lit up and blurted out, “I don’t ever want to go to Florida! It’ll all be under water soon!!”

    The really scary part is that this kid’s parents are conservative, church going folk. This is what passes for critical thinking in much of our education system today.

    Sounds to me like he is trying to form a “Super Adventure Club”.

    Brrrr!

    I think I’ll break out the guitar and turn out a Donovanesque folk song entitled, “Creepy Greenpeace Child,” this weekend.

  17. Mr. Pink says:

    OT:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/04/AR2009020403174.html

    Obama writes an OP ED explaining reasons to support his “stimulus” bill. If you want to read some weapons grade idiocy then go read the comments to it.

    He looks like a Sith Lord in training. It’s the fixed stare and the pupils.

  19. Carin says:

    Home schooling is the answer. I’m telling ya …

  20. Pablo says:

    Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.

    Karrena, Kristin, Sarah and Albert, are you reading me? Think of all those tons of global warming pollution they’re spewing. Think of the planet. Think of the inhertiance. Do it for the children!

  21. athomedad says:

    A trivial point but “never trust anyone over thirty” should actually be attributed to activist from the Berkley Free Speach movement Jack Weinberg. A very cool and thoughtful fellow. He said it in jest, because a reporter had sugeested “adult” outside control (read communist) of the movement.

  22. B Moe says:

    Home schooling is the answer. I’m telling ya …

    Until the Democrats have it outlawed.

  23. Carin says:

    Until the Democrats have it outlawed.

    Which, I’m sure they’d like to do. The NEA hates us.

  24. Jack says:

    The problem here for Al Gore is that children aren’t idiots either. They will ask the question, “Where is the warming?”

    For AGW, there is no there, there. Kids notice things like that. They also make fun of people who go to global warming conferences and then come back and play in the snow.

  25. TheGeezer says:

    not wearing enough clothes

    You know, it’s 3 degrees F here and I see high school kids wearing baggy Bermuda shorts (or whatever they are) to school, waiting for buses, etc. Why do they do that? Just to drive geezers crazy? I mean, I was a teenager once, but I never had the desire to freeze my knees as a sign of rebellion.

    One of my forth grade boy’s eyes lit up and blurted out, “I don’t ever want to go to Florida! It’ll all be under water soon!!”

    And soon, BJ, it won’t be covered in water, and even later, it won’t be covered in water, and then suddenly the fourth grader is a 9th grader telling his buddies what B.S. all that GW scare crap was, and Gaia is a nonexistent bitch used to scare little children and adults, especially fat failed political types should never be trusted.

    Just a little hope for your day.

  26. TheGeezer says:

    And BJ, I just noticed, you said one of the fourth grader’s eyes lit up and blurted.

    I hope you had that treated.

  27. A twelve year-old kid is already beginning to think he’s smarter than his parents, it’s just starting to sink in that maybe the old guy watching Spongebob in his underwear on the couch while drinking the cooking sherry milkshake isn’t the Coolest Guy in the World.

    He’s wrong, of course. Twelve year-old’s often are. I am the coolest guy in the world. It’s obvious both to me and to his four year old brother. Not to him. So my plan is to subtly disguise myself as Al Gore…you know, like Alec Baldwin did when his kids started getting uppity. Just let go. Let your inner Al Gore shine on through…it works. Everyone loves Alec Baldwin and Al Gore.

    Judy Bloom ain’t got shit on me.

  28. B Moe says:

    You know, it’s 3 degrees F here and I see high school kids wearing baggy Bermuda shorts (or whatever they are) to school, waiting for buses, etc. Why do they do that?

    Because the thermostats in their schools are set at about 80 degrees.

  29. MarkD says:

    I saw a kid like that in the mall this week. Syracuse isn’t exactly Orlando, but this kid was so fat I’m sure he didn’t even feel the cold. Probably on his way to the movie theater, where I’m sure he chowed down on a tub of triple buttered popcorn…

  30. MarkD says:

    It’s hard not to be a judgemental old fart when you are one. Sorry.

  31. happyfeet says:

    Thanks, Mr. Pink. Why does Baracky think his stupid hyperinflation plan will ignite “spending by businesses and consumers alike”? His stupid plan ignites spending by government by borrowing an ungodly amount of money from the credit markets what, um, businesses and consumers use to invest and finance purchases. Clueless fuck.

    And why does the central planning dirty socialist trollop say “Our dependence on foreign oil still threatens our economy and our security.” Must not be too threatened. God we’re in trouble if we don’t get some adult supervision for training wheel boy quick.

    Then this. Too funny. “They’re patient enough to know that our economic recovery will be measured in years, not months.” Oh little man. So much to learn.

  32. Carin says:

    FTR, I loved Galaxy Quest.

    Ironic that todays kids and teens, some of the most spoiled and privileged EVA …

    You know what uses a ton of energy? The tv. Tell the kids to save the planet by turning off the tv. Or, tell ’em to stop expecting to be driven everywhere by their parents. Get out their bike, and pedal to 1)school 2) soccer practice and 3) their friends house. DO IT FOR GAIA.

    The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation.

    That is why all mothers need to join the workforce, so they can drop their babies off at the government-assisted day-care facility.

    Sorry, forgot to close the italics. Should be:

  35. TheGeezer says:

    It’s hard not to be a judgemental old fart when you are one. Sorry.

    Hey, I enjoy my judgmentalistic old fartism. Hey, if you endured the sixties and seventies as a political conservative, you have earned the right to judgmentalistic old fartism.
