i met someone with two barking dogs and we talked and the dogs talked. we both lived in deerfield in the 1960's. we reminisced about how kids could go around with no fear. but i remember that's when kennedy was murdered and i fell off the bunk bed and our neighbor sleepwalked and fell down the stairs. now kids are raised in fear. now kids learn by algorithm, from electronic machines. now kids are raised in a country that commits genocide daily, and politicians campaign with murderous joy. what are kids to think, how are kids to think, in the forsaken country?
