If it were not for Nazi Germany and America during World War II, then we would have concentration camps all over the country. We love to hate. If there isn't currently a group of people to hate, we look for one. We are no different than germans following Hitler. We're easily led astray, especially when desperate or promised some hope. The majority of us are as impressionable as we wish to believe only children are. Make someone feel better about themselves and you own them. That's why "self help" books are so popular. Yet, you can't keep just feeling good about yourself. Eventually you'll begin nit picking. That's why we need a group to hate. What group is that today? They are known by many names, but I'll call them the child-lovers. Women rarely fit into this group, because they created the hysteria against it, so I could say "male child-lovers." Yet, what would really happen if we did rid the world of them?

Had Nazi Germany succeeded in ridding the world of "undesirables", we all know how many gifted people we would have lost, including Einstein, but what many people don't realize is just how important child-lovers are to the world. While no one would deny the impact of Hollywood on our culture, many people would call it a negative impact. The top directors and actors in Hollywood are child-lovers and those who aren't are teen-lovers. Because Hollywood is still one of the last holdouts for patriarchal structure (free from female domination), their sexual lives and even unspoken attractions are accepted with a smile and a nod. Yet, without child-lovers in Hollywood, it wouldn't be the raunchy movies that would go, but the family films.

"Well," some may say, " who needs movies? I'll take a good book any day." Yet, many of the famous and well loved classics were written by child-lovers. Perhaps the two most brilliantly creative works of fiction of all time, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, would never have been written if their author, the mathematical genius Charles Dodgwood (Lewis Carol), was hunted the way he would be today for his love of girls (for photographing, but certainly not for ever being anything less than a perfect gentleman). Along with him would go J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. In fact, children's classics would become hard to find altogether. And, if we group teen-lovers in too (which many people do when assigning hatred), we would virtually eliminate Classical European literature (seeking out coming of age boys being a great pastime among sophisticated British gentlemen). Even William Shakespeare himself would be out of the picture.

"So," someone may reply, "who needs books anyway? They can be harmful to our socially established thinking, like Harmful To Minors by Judith Levine." Well then, can we do without many of the worlds greatest musical talents? And I'm not just talking about Michael Jackson. Great musical groups and even boy bands would loose members or fall apart. And, for those who don't like modern music, even such famous names in classical music as Tchaikovsky would not be immune. Do I need to go on to paintings or sculptures, or do you see my point? "The Arts" (which originated in Caucasian Europe) would all but vanish. You see, when we eliminate child-lovers, we eliminate the imagination in adults that we wish to reserve only for children. We exterminate creativity in our ongoing man-hating. So, we need to ask ourselves what is more valuable to us: child-lovers or our hatred of them.
