Pathetic attempt to get readers attention. The worst part is these things make things worse to no end.

Parents today have a cycle of appeasing their kids rather than raising them and then blaming everyone but themselves when the results are less than stellar. It's just really disappointing to see so few people willing to take responsibility for their actions and to do something to make a positive change. As always, people are more worried about covering their asses than actually fixing a problem.

They don't like dying any more than you or I. It is interesting just how cheaply they can be had, though. I wonder how long until they're as effective in combat as a trained guerrilla.

I've had a few thoughts on things, but nothing concrete enough to bring to life, yet. My mind hasn't been working well lately. Not enough sleep or something.
