The Children of the Corn

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. …

The ”Z” generation is the end game stemming from the Baby Boomers, and the Millennials. If you want to remember “Z” just remember the word, “ZAP!” Because that’s the foundational philosophy of the Z generation.

Emerging out of WWII, my generation, the Baby Boomers, grew up in an America that had a stable middle class. From the efforts of the Roosevelts, a family could have a two parent, heterosexual home where the man was the bread winner, and the woman was the bread cooker. Mommy taught little girls to be women, and daddy taught little boys to be men. It was understood that this was the natural order of things, and although there were variations, those incidents were the exception rather than the rule.

That all changed when Lee Harvey Oswald squeezed off his third shot in Dallas On November 22, 1963. On that day Leave It To Beaver died, and America began its slow march into a new era. An era where Right was left, left was right, and sideways was straight ahead. Here came beatniks, who evolved into hippies, who morphed into free love who would fight the Vietnam War. And why did we not prevail in Vietnam? Because we were fighting the precursors of what would later be known as the Z generation! As our politicians stumbled blindly through the fog the weather was clear in Hanoi!

We still had the middle class, but Reagan fixed all that with “Trickle Down” economics. The object of the game was to stem the trickle, and keep it up on top, by insuring that the billionaires and corporations could keep as much wealth as humanly possible without letting America resemble Charles Dickens’ nineteenth century England. At least not at first. I would advise you not to enjoy ice cream on the San Francisco wharf anytime soon. That’ll get you killed. The middle class cheered this on as Reagan pissed down its back and said it was raining.

As the Baby Boomers moved through life, they held onto traditional values. They believed! When mommy had to go to work to make ends meet, and the kids ended up in day care rather than their own back yard no one really noticed. When teachers became the authority figure that seemed quite natural. When it became a very big deal if the President was a Democrat or Republican, that was just politics. And the Millennials emerged from a society trying to resurrect the “good old days” by ignoring the good old facts and insulating them from life and all of its ramifications.

If you help a chick out of its egg it will either die or not become the chicken it could have been. The Millennials were an entire generation of weak chicks. The public school system had diluted education down to the point that students at the University if Texas during one street survey actually believed that Martin Luther King freed the slaves. We came up with the Department of Education that eventually gave us the confused illiterates teaching our kids that we enjoy today. Millennials lived at home well into middle age because it was now understood that a man and woman simply could not make it carrying Reaganomics on their backs, indeed if it were even the natural, traditional family unit because they couldn’t even look down in their pants and figure that one out either.

So they sat around Starbucks, paying five dollars for a ten cent cup of coffee, devising plans to launch a billion dollar internet web site while discussing the finer points of the proper “man bun.” Feminism rose, masculinity faded, and America first became uni-sex, and then multi-sex. And the Russians began to understand that they could control our elections through Facebook because Millennials were to stupid to read a newspaper!

Then, what few Millennials who could remember how to, began to breed. If you could find a couple that were of different sexes, and IF the Baby didn’t end up in a bedpan down at Planned Parenthood, and IF the parents remembered to feed it you got the final solution to American human evolution. The Z generation. The Children of the Corn!

The Z generation openly rejected their parents’ philosophy because it was readily apparent that their parents didn’t HAVE a philosophy! . They regarded their grandparents’ tales of times long gone as fairy tales. Beautiful stories with no basis in reality. As gay rights took center stage, huge buildings fell at the hands of religious madmen, and presidents grabbed the White House by the pussy the Zs began to understand that their world was one of madness.

Psychologists referred to them as RADs ( Reactive Attachment Disorder) or bi-polar, or worse, but that was all wrong. They were the new normal. They were the human equation surviving. They were the equivalent of modern man stepping out on the savanna confronting the Neanderthals. And their solutions to the Baby Boomers, and the Millennials were direct, and to the point! They began to knock them in the head with their own clubs.

To a “Z” a school shooting is business as usual. To a “Z” an abortion is like having a tooth pulled. To a “Z” a homeless vet is just a useless old man. We debate the border crises. The “Z” doesn’t have a problem with illegal immigration. They’ll just open the borders and reinstitute slavery. Poof! No more border crisis. Islam? No problem! Just nuke Mecca. Aloha Salad Bar! The homeless? Just don’t feed them. Should take about a week or so.

The Z is not dumb, and is not lazy. That’s why that ten year old little girl can hack into your iPhone while you can’t program your Roku. That’s why my own grandchildren can form a Landscaping business in Utah and the oldest is only twelve. That’s why they laugh hysterically every time Nancy Pelosi or AOC open their mouths! And they will outlive us folks. We will inevitably have to pass the torch to them, they will use it to burn down the whore house we left, and hopefully construct a world more in line with what works. The Z generation will give birth to a new era, and all births are painful.

We all look back at the Founding Fathers with nostalgia and longing but times the are a changing. We have new founding fathers (and mothers.) They are crowding the playgrounds of the government schools. They stare at you from the shadows. And in time they will hand you a new America. We all have the right to remain silent. So it’s about time we SHUT UP!
