The Wisdom of the Teenage Girl


Hard to think of an easier target than teenage girls: giggling and gasping, chatting on their cells and primping in the rear view mirror in a self-absorbed haze. So-called "smart" guys stick them on the radio and ask them who the Vice President is or where is the Middle East or some such question and the male interviewer always gets a kick out of the girls' ignorance. Well, pal, the joke's on you - totally!

"Don't follow leaders; watch your parking meters."
-Bob Dylan

It's funny to see all the self-deluded men discussing politics and world events and "being responsible" with a verbal dick in their hand. Whether it's on TV or the park bench, guys love this sort of distraction. Full of specious analysis and psuedo-logic and simplistic answers, they are tackling the "big issues" of the day. Hogwash! If you think verbal masturbation is going to save the world, take a look around you 'cause it ain't worked yet. And never will.

"But, but...you just can't ignore world events! You gotta do something!" See? They never finish that sentence. It's supposed to be: You gotta do something meaningful. Well, I present to you the teenage girl is doing more for global warming, the price of oil and geopolitical entanglements than all those "responsible" men combined. Live your life - it's why you're put here. It's the job of each and every one of us to save our soul. And when that is collectively done, as a byproduct the world will be saved. (And that's the only way it can be saved.)


So go ahead and spout historical facts and "discuss issues" and try to feel important in a self-absorbed haze. God needs none of it.


"I tell you the truth,
anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God
like a little child
will never enter it."
Mark 10:15
