i agree with this, actually, with the exception of the part about being in the wrong place meaning one has made wrong decisions. the reasoning there is faulty. i think the gayest part about the exaltation of "innocence" in the modern zeitgeist is this pedestalization of children. it used to be that attractive, fertile young women were deemed most worthy of protection and sacrifice. now all children are homogenized into this block of infallibility that you must care for. honestly, i want to see brown children die. if i see a little shit-smelling mexican boy hobbling onto the school bus, i know he's going to grow up into a violent retard who drives recklessly and blasts salsa music at 3:00 am. in just a few short years. so no, children are not "innocent." white children, maybe.
