when people talk about childhood innocence...well it churns my stomache...cause i do not see it ever existing...just an illusion...granted people did not talk about sex all the time...not directly, anyways...but it was there...it is like how folks talk about things like "what is happening these days?" "why can't children just be children?"...the same sort of crap is just going on as before...only more publicised and given more attention to than before...childhood innocence is an illusion nothing more...it was never there, and it never will be.
