When was this? Childhood of every era? 'Cause I'll tell you what, there's not a single generation that once they hit a point of being able to grasp what the hell is gong on it's downhill from there. I never gave a fuck about politics until I was in maybe 7th grade, after we did a report on republicans and democrats. I was introduced to politics around 9/11 and it still bothers me. I wish I had never known or was introduced to politics, ever. I wish they would ask people if they want to learn about it or hear about it. I wish people didn't indoctrinate people to believe in and/or care about such foolishness.
The only way you will never think of it, is if you were never introduced to it.
That's how my grandma would've said it if she was still alive: "It's all such foolishness."
