Parenting

Surely the most difficult job in America today is the job of parenting. How do you explain to your children that past actions by you and your countrymen that you supported with votes, taxes, ideology and seldom opposed with knowledge or protest that these actions made a mess of the planet and are responsible for the legacy of natural disasters you now leave your children storm after storm, each worse than the other how do you explain your culpability, your lack of power, your anger and frustration that these things happened on your watch? How do you ask for their forgiveness? How do you give them advice about the future? I have never been a parent. I am one of the lucky ones. So I have no idea.
