I am sorry to say that I have left this blog in a rather abandoned state for quite some time now. This is mainly because I have been so busy with the magazine, including making phone calls to printers and advertisers. However, I do get some free time and I will try to dedicate it to getting this blog more up to date.
I have spent a lot of time delving into my past recently, from new perspectives. I don't know if I still have some readers from Eckington School, but I have been thinking about them considerably recently. Perhaps it is due to slightly elevated stress levels, or just writing articles about societies' broken teenagers; but it seems strange how much things have changed in just a few short years. I spoke to an old friend on Tuesday, who told me that "things change and people grow". From my experiences in Britain, I imagine that the people who I went to school with are probably growing in-line with state approval. Most of them are in college, receiving an 'education' which teaches guilt and cowardice. One that teaches them to abide by the rules, instead of the rules of conscience.
I can only hope that after the school that we went to, and the influences that we had on each other; my schoolmates will probably be a little more prepared to stand against indoctrination than most out there. Those who have taken history lessons, will no doubt have very little knowledge of history other than world war one and two...and a deep look at black slavery in the USA. Those who took geography, may have great difficulty finding their next vacation spot on a map; but they will be well educated on the politics of that country and how we should be forcing our idea of civilization and democracy onto them in an invasion... liberation if they do not comply. Those of you that went on to study psychology will probably learn the best ways to make a person feel inferior, and how harmless it is to label somebody...but you will never learn how to really cure someone of a mental illness(without drugs) like the famous psychiatrist Dr.Carl Jung did years ago.
Many of my old friends have dropped out of college, and gained jobs in the real world. While the educational establishment that you dropped out of may look down on you for it, I respect you..and I am glad that you are willing to think for yourselves and make decisions based on personal choice.
