What southern Florida is talking about this week:
Those Parkland kids ... and all the other kids they inspired.
Kids changed the civil rights movement. Kids changed the apartheid movement. Kids changed the world ... and they will continue to do so.
And to all those fuddy-duddies dutifully spreading the memes that mother Russia supplies -- you know the ones with the photo shopping of a torn Constiution and the character assassinations of high school age CHILDREN -- children who just barely survived America's favorite pastime of late (i.e. the active shooter scenario) -- you just better hope that they take on Social Security next, 'cause all the leaders YOU voted in in your adult life robbed from their futures in order to make themselves comfortable in the past and the present isn't looking so good now, is it? Shame. On. You.
To those of you who have to suffer the slings and arrows of your outrageous fortune flung at you by the fuddy-duddy brigade, the lobby zombies and those who prove they shouldn't be allowed in the discussion because they immediately jump to the extreme response foregoing all logic and sensibility ... may all that cruel negativity only serve to strengthen your spirit and to steel your resolve.
For it is the youth who shall lead us ... and it is the youth who just might pass you by ... and when that happens, I promise I'll make a meme for you.
THE YOUTH SHALL LEAD:
