False propaganda, to be truly effective, Has to exist in an environment In which there are no alternatives to contradict it. Otherwise, it can be seen for the lie that it is.
"Who denounced you?" said Winston. "It was my little daughter," said Parsons with a sort of doleful pride. "She listened at the keyhole. Heard what I was saying and nipped off to the patrols the very next day." George Orwell (from 1984)
"I can't blame Crystal for doing what she did. She told the truth when questioned by the authorities. That's what I've always taught her to do." Mother of DARE student Crystal Grendell after being arrested in a drug raid based on information provided by Crystal to her DARE officer. (Wall Street Journal. April 1992)
"He's my son and I love him. He found it [marijuana] and did what he had to do." Jerry Herrera, father of DARE student Jouquin Herrera who tipped off police. (Rocky Mountain News, September 1991)
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
Once again, just like in Honduras, all the neighborhood kids seem to gravitate towards my house.
Just like there, I put their little asses to work.
They seem to love it (‘o course I make it fun).
Sometimes the shit just gets shocked right out of me though.
This is an excerpt of a conversation between me and (name deleted). She is a little girl ten years old. She comes here to visit her daddy on the weekends. She is very smart, VERY well developed for her age ( I got a theory on that) and just an all around sweetheart.
Her: "Tio, I think I am in love with you and want to have sex with you."
Me: *Jaw on ground* "Uhhhhh. . . OOOOOKAY then!" *Wanders off and starts puttering around because I have been left totally speechless by this revelation*
Her: "Are you mad at me?"
Me: "No Babes. . . but we gotta talk about this thing."
Then followed a long discussion on boys, crushes, love, biological functions, school, and life in general.
To her credit, she took it all in, understood, and was very mature about the whole thing.
I have also given that talk to both of my nieces and I gotta tell ya. . . It don't get any easier.
I'm not surprised you almost swooned! I think you handled it well, all things considered.
Ten years old? Shit! I had a crush on Donny Osmond at that age, but at no point did I think abour sex with him. Does she actually know what sex is?
