well yes, the problem is that
this particular rabbithole goes really really really deep
...also there are not a lot of jobs for kids around these days
(specially in the suburbs, projects or out in the woods/desert
/rural/etc) other than fast food, retail, wallyworld and such as;
as a kid (about 11-17y/o) I use to wash cars, paint housenumbers
on the sidewalk, deliver pizza, mow lawns and even dj for parties
for $$$, the problem is that today most no one will pay for "kid services"
like those,
forgetaboutit.

just tell me what chance does a kid (and the poor parents) have against
new generation interactive packaging like this one (push play, 20sec video).
I really wish more ppl will get involved in this thread within these
coming weeks, I personally really enjoy reading the very insightful
opinions of the different members of this site, lots of smart folks
in this particular site, that is why I stick around after all these years,
but a lot of people simply DO NOT want even listen, trust me, they
know exactly what will happen if they push play on that film, their
world will change forever and simple awareness
demands choice,
you can't go back anymore, and most do not want this kind of
responsability. Only time will tell how this thread evolves or dies.
...happy holidays to j.o.g. and the lot of you, cheers!
