(law enforcement, not Sting & the boys)
I guess the moderator did not see the humor in it.

As a child, the highest office in the world, the dream job to which every boy (and some girls) sought to attain… where one would be heralded all over the world and be able to use his (or her) influence to make this great country a better place.
As an adult, a rhetoric-spouting slave to the teleprompter and the skewed pollsters that create false statistics. Mouthpiece to the unions and special interests, ridiculed all over the world, bound by the self-entitled Kings of Congress, and using influence to ingratiate 51% of the uneducated voters to keep his (or her) self-serving party in power.

I’m sorry, do I sound disillusioned and bitter? I prefer the term ‘experienced’.

(Also, before the grammar Nazis strike: I am also sorry about the doubling of the word ‘use’ in my previous comment… I guess I am just a user)

If there’s one thing I can say that may put a positive light on this subject is, thankfully there are movies that I watched as a kid that I can still watch as an adult (26) and still get those same feelings of wonder and amazement. Such as:

Rocky 4
Superman 1 and 2
The Neverending Story
Legend
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Batman (1989)
Top Gun
The Terminator
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure (even better as an adult because I get all the jokes now).
