Dear Annoying Parkland Kids: We Gave You A Pretty Awesome World, Try Not To Mess It Up by Robert Tracinski

The world we older generations have given today’s kids is actually pretty awesome. We can’t protect them from every danger and every risk, and we can’t stop every tragedy like the Parkland shooting. But by historical standards, our kids will be safer, healthier, and wealthier, and they can expect to live longer and more untroubled lives than we did, or than our parents did, or than our grandparents did.

 I can see, though, why they wouldn’t realize any of this, because there are some who have a political interest in making things look worse.

This is a message that needs to get out.
