*feels the minds narrowing* Yeah, that'd be a very bad thing.  One of the 
things that makes this country cool is that we can do things like diss 
authority and not go to jail.  But I guess, inspiring imagination and 
thought in kids is too much to ask for in today's society.  I mean, if you 
inspire their imagination, what next?  Free thought?

(I agree about Pokemon, if you've seen kids dragging their parents into a 
gaming store to get $30 in cards for the game with that glaze
on their eyes, you'll know why my friend and I call such card games
"Thin Crack."  But it's a phase, we drooled over gi-joe, transformers and 
micronauts...and did much the same...)
