This isn't all-star Pet Paramedics on the Learning Channel! The dude - and it always seems to be a dude - is just some schlub that stumbled uphill and tongue-swabbed the right Crain Communications intern to end up desperately trying to sound interesting in an email interview, talking about the Tiki obsession he used to indulge and the ability to find inspiration in all things, even his commute.

...A coffee induced theory regarding swim lane kids:<br /> Back in the early days of ".com" the developing internet had melted the social permafrost that held down the subterranean, Methane breathing, closeted child molester from whom all with impressionable, young, innocent children were terrified. When child exploitation went so far as to become the premise for collections of on-line communities created and shared by the lowest of the low, there was genuine cause for circling the wagons. The media, including televising the catching of on-line child predators, had brought the problem center stage and kept it there as tactically as would be expected of them. All of this would inevitably bring child welfare and day-to-day child safety to a level of intensity commensurate with the varied levels of the induced fear.<br /><br /> This is not news, of course. However, I believe the type of parenting that has evolved as a consequence, has produced a generation of children whom have essentially been well trained to focus only on themselves and to remain almost completely, though unconsciously dependent upon others for what would be seen by their predecessors or elders (you) as completely necessary but uncomfortable or undesirable efforts; the “Millennials”. Presently, these children are now grown and having children of their own. These are the parents of the children you are running into in your swim lane. To these parents, their children's welfare, when in the pool, systematically becomes your problem and any thought of change to this would not occur to them even if you were to bring it to their attention personally.<br /><br />Decidedly, the swim lane kids are here to stay. Rage if you must but I believe it akin to an attempt to hold back the tide. By the way, these kids are not disappointed in you. They would have to be aware of you first.Berkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499213163319317259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958990354598975042.post-71718331150386616572013-08-01T09:58:44.365-07:002013-08-01T09:58:44.365-07:00You're disappointed in me?

Perhaps the addition of some Goyishe "moreover"s, "whereas"s and "hitherto"s would broaden Round Seventeen's reach and encourage your New England hoi polloi fan base to spread the work of their funny – he's so like Woody Allen! – bloggering friend in between martinis and writing checks to Koch brother causes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
