Raising natural kids...Naturally.
I don't have kids but I was thinking about this today: how adults raise kids in such a plastic way. They literally give them plastic toys--the more intricate the better (rather than the Waldorf philosophy of dolls with no faces and blocks of wood so that children bring their creativity to the activity). Zoos and museums have dumbed-down, gaudy signs for the kiddies to interact with, rather than taking one's children to the woods or lake and let them see wildlife up close and personal, without the tacky trimmings.
Chuckie Cheeze is supposed to be a fun place. The plastic slides and gross pizza. The mania versus genuine happiness...
Yeah, pretty much sums it up...
