It was suddenly so clear to me what a fantasy the future can be, that we imagine it either or worse or better than where we are now. And it’s irrelevant whether we are right or wrong. It will just be what it is.
Summing up the 2000s
Whoa. This post just made me realize that we are about to close out the first decade of the new century. The millennium. The first decade is already gone? I think I’ll be in the corner over there, with my head squeezed between my knees.
As Goes Halloween, So Goes Childhood
The article’s concluding paragraphs are too good not to copy:
“Our fears are so overblown they’d be laughable if they didn’t sound so much like the fears that are haunting us the rest of the year. Fears that have lead to parents to wait with their kids at the school bus stop, and keep them inside on sunny afternoons. Fears that make parents forbid their kids from skipping down the street to invite a friend out to play. That’s the everyday version of Halloween fear: The fear that we cannot trust our children amongst our neighbors for one single second because, who knows, they might be pedophiles just waiting to pounce.
If you want to see what childhood is becoming, look how at what Halloween has already become: A parent-planned, climate-controlled, child-coddled, corporate-sponsored “event,” where kids are considered too delicate to even survive the sight of a scary costume.”
