Two, do you mean the use of dramatic verbs and adjectives? Barring incidental personal pronouns and a few determiners, these are the adjectives: ulterior, evil, collective, sociobiological, random, total, forced, several, merciless, resilient, tenacious, forgiving. Perhaps there is a bit of drama in evil and merciless, but not worth fingering all adjectives. Except for the three positive adjectives at the end (which I assume you find no fault in) and the two I just named, every other word is fairly benign. Dramatic verbs include hate, exterminate, and kill besides cow and manipulate. These verbs lie among the nonthreatening is, used, want, going, stand up, say, benefit, get away, and thank. While any verb may induce certain feelings, to remove the dramatic verbs from my post would be to gut my point, rendering it insipid.

Three, consider my mile wide, inch deep paragraph to be an abstract or precis of a much more thorough exposition this blog has no room for, it not being my blog, thus its brevity.

Four, the source of your comments give me pause, causing me to wonder what nerve I hit that you would leap to the defense of the adult population. Have you been abused by adults? Did you abuse children as I outlined? And whence comes this accusation of liberalism and social experiments?

Five, your contempt for children shows. Your use of the word inexperienced, and your suggestion that young people are not capable of handling rights and responsibilities are among the indicators that over a lifetime have led me to conclude that adults hate children. Children are autonomous, sentient, intelligent beings expected to live one hundred years. We are charged by nature to nurture and develop them into adults. By the time they are with us for one sixth of those one hundred years, the lives of many of them are irrecoverably damaged.

I have spent far more time on this response to your comment than I planned. Far from the coup de grace you may have intended, your comments betrayed your latent feelings toward children, therefore I felt impelled to respond.

Quite appallingly, we as a society hate our children. Well, actually, we each hate other people’s children–and the collective effect is that society hates its children. Perhaps there’s a fine sociobiological reason for this but nevertheless, our animosity is on display everywhere in zero-tolerance policies in schools; disdain for their dress and music; random drug tests, searches, and total dismissal of their human rights; sanctions on driving, sexuality, and alcohol use; and our treatment of them as accessories, forced redeemers of our failed dreams, scapegoats, pawns, and untouchables. I say this, not as a child but as an adult with several decades of life between me and them. We are merciless toward them and would exterminate them if we could get away with it. Thank God they are resilient, tenacious, and forgiving or they would kill all us adults.
