*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...)
