What can be done?
It is not really my place to tell other adults what to do with their time. The question 'what can be done' has many answers.

Convince yourselves that our children need our undivided attention, plant a garden, travel to Iraq, give money to some of the 9/11 websites, get involved, ask yourself why Pat Tillman was really killed, watch less television, ride your bike, take public transportation, SLOW down, listen to Caroline Casey on Thursdays at 2 p.m. PST on KPFA.org, have some friends over for dinner, light a fire and talk about it. Find a way to connect, and the world that is currently being run by these scornful, lost children will start to unravel and reveal itself for what it truly is. The Emperor indeed has no clothes.
