If you want to understand our government’s policies — just think like a 14-year old:
A world of privilege without responsibility. A demand to have now at any cost; ignoring the future consequences.
A resentment and refusal to listen to advice. A rebellious attitude toward anyone and anything that restricts your behavior.
And a pattern of blaming everything on someone else — especially anyone outside the group.
Or you could read “Lord of the Flies.”
