Kids

What's up with kids today? I was watching the news yesterday morning while in the doctor's office, only to see that 2 teenagers were arrested for "teaching" a 2 and 4 year old how to smoke weed. Yes, let me write that again...FOR TEACHING A 2 and 4 YEAR OLD HOW TO SMOKE MARIJUANA! I can't even describe how sick I felt after viewing this (good thing I was at the doctor), and it didn't help that they were 'folk either. I found myself looking around the office to see who else was watching this, and after noticing that there was 1 "tall" patient in the lobby I felt a little compelled to walk up to him and say, "Sir, we don't all teach our children how to smoke weed, those are just some ignant mo'fos who clearly are dimented and need an immediate psychiatric evaluation". Of course I didn't say this, but still there was a slight hint of embarrassment. And I asked myself why? Why do you even care? "That isn't and never will be you" is what I told myself. But I realize I care because I always feel like things like this can be prevented. And I empathize on all sides---the babies, the babies' parents, and the whack teens who did such a stupid thing, and then took it to another level of stupidity when they recorded it (clearly, they have issues). But more importantly I do empathize, because I'm sure if they had the same resources as I had as a child, they would have known better, and would have had more options of entertainment than watching 2 babies choke on some dope. I cringe at the very thought...and then I think "God what are you trying to tell me?" Why does this piss me off so much? Again, the answer is right in front of me, and yet I'm just not ready or willing to look at it.
