(Kid 1: Our folks are at work- while we watch TV and drink their beer!) (Kid 2: Adults are suck tools!) Kids add zip to the G.D.P. and their sloth is costing us bigtime in the global economy. (Woman: I just worked a shift, honey... would you mind maybe helping me with the laundry? (Kid 3: Sorry, mom- I've gotta "play!" hee, hee!) They're the ultimate special- interest group: immune from execution, coddled by sycophantic "parents" and entitled to "love" for their age alone. (Man 1: I love you.)

(Man: Madison avenue caters to me- and you can't do anything about it!) (Woman 2: I could work... but I'd rather get pierced!)
