Not this M.B, but another of many jerks who share our initials (Michele Bachmann being the worst offender) MSNBC plagiarist Mike Barnicle, who twice referred to children as a "commodity," as in "precious commodity." Like oil, or wheat? Fuck him.
Children are not anyone's property, they are not commodities, & they are not your or "our" future. Your future is as wormfood. (As is ours, but unlike Barnicle we have faced that fact & are not comforting ourself w/ bullshit about "our future".)
Bullying adults, pick on someone your own size!
And while we're on the subject, US government debt is not "stealing from our children". It is money that some of our children will owe to some of our other children, resulting in a(nother) distributive problem but nothing more. Stealing from future generations mostly involves destroying the planet's ability to sustain them in years hence in exchange for a bunch of dollars now...
ReplyDeleteI went to high school with Barnicle's daughter. She treated herself like a cheap commodity. It started at home, naturally.
