is romance dead or just raped?

Everyone has these idea's in there head about how they see themselves and who they are going to become.  We start out wanting to be firefighter's,ballerina's, rock stars, me i wanted to be a ice cream man.  As we get older television, books, movies, full of romanticized monsters, junkies, prostitutes, and pirates.  We find out Santa Claus is not real.  We also find out what our teachers tell us about Columbus is a lie.  People wonder why so many people stop going to church.  Or even believing in god all together.  How are children born into so many lies, how are they to truly believe in anything?  We hear loud noises people talking about bettering us as a whole...or at least as a country.  We find out to be politicians....maybe just maybe all the lies are the things that are suppose to prepare us for democracy....maybe there the things that are there to desensitize us. Well it sounds like Ayden woke up...these are my thoughts during nap time.....
