My advice for what it's worth...
If you have a yard with a lawn, rip it out and fill it with topsoil and plant a garden! Help your neighbors do the same thing. Alternate vegetable species between yourself and your neighbors. Invest in Heritage seeds
Well, I think it's all of that, and more! We've been eating lab food for decades, shit that has been so adulterated with preservatives and taste enhancements and "fillers"—PLUS genetically modified AND pumped with hormones—now to the point where they can make whole frozen dinners out of food-flavored edible PLASTIC, that it's a wonder our kids are not glowing neon. It's a wonder they're ALIVE. It's a wonder we can even still reproduce at all. It's a wonder we're not dead. Maybe even it's a SHAME we're not dead.
Jesus fuck! This just blows my mind! All of it, not just the little girls.
It could be the fucking TV! What is the effect of all that sexualized everything on little bitty kids? Every baby born has a brain that makes Einstein's look deficient! They have perspicillions of glowingly fresh brain cells in there and literally form their brains in response to their environments. They form their neural pathways, literally sculpt themselves up an adult brain, with the extras, the unused cells, dying off to end up like us. MAYBE LITTLE GIRLS ARE SEEING THE NEED TO BE SEXUAL AND IT'S MAKING THEIR BRAINS START IN WITH THE PUBERTY THING AS EARLY AS IT CAN.
And, I don't mean this in a sexist way, girls have much more elegant brains than boys. Females are vastly superior machines in terms of complexity and function. Males have clarity because far less floats in for consideration. Males tend more toward being good at math because it is straight rule-based stuff, no matter how arcane or how complicated. Women can always jump out of rule-based systems to catch the errors in the systems themselves or to make them encompass more, where men are total cavemen about that sort of thing. Men's brains are simpler and their bodies are simpler and stronger... stronger in the sense of brute force, but less durable.
Point being that maybe we are not seeing a corresponding problem with little boys because they are not wired to be able to accomplish that OR because so many old coots are wired to be hot for BABIES that there is no evidenced need for it coming in off the TV sets.
Although, I do know a guy who received a call from his seven-year-old daughter's classmate late at night to inform him that he wanted to fuck her. Picture yourselves listening to a seven-year-old boy telling you that about your daughter. It's horrifying, but sends me off howling with laughter every time I think about it.
I know! I have been continually mowed down by witnessing kids bellowing stuff to their parents and others that would not even have crossed my mind, let alone come out my mouth, at their age. Hell, sometimes not even cross my mind NOW. It's terrifying. Just that part right there is terrifying enough, and now we have apocalyptically early puberties on top of THAT.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

I think it's due to all the hormone laden beef in fast food burgers.

My kids at 12 were coming up with things I didn't learn about until I was 20!

ReplyDelete20 years ago my friend's daughter was 12 and would have fit tightly into Dolly Parton's bra.
ReplyDeleteHe too swore it was the beef.
