A FRANK DISCUSSION WITH THE CHILDREN OF NEW ZEALAND

Kids know nothing, right? Otherwise why would they need to go to school? I recently had a frank and furious discussion with the children of New Zealand (not all of them) about the environment, the recession, and the Nanna Economy. Here is a partial transcript. Their "ideas"—if you could call them that—included greater social responsibility, an innovation-led response to environmental issues, an end to the physical discipline of children, less consumerism, and a rehabilitative prison system. I know, ridiculous.
