Substance vs. Symbolism.

Why isn't Greta Thunberg enrolled in school, studying science and learning how to contribute to her society, as well as to criticize earlier others whom she accuses of stealing her future. Does she really intend to remain a dumb schoolgirl forever? Why isn't she enrolled in hard science classes, working toward a STEM degree so that she can secure her own future instead of simply making a name for herself bitching and moaning about how her future has been stolen from her? Aren't there any adults in her life capable of steering her away from celebrity into substance? Is this an Aspbergers's thing -- disability excuses over education/work that others with the same illness manage to overcome to contribute to society and their own upkeep?

Did someone promise Thunberg her life would be a rose garden? ("Well I beg your pardon... In this world of sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain, sometime.")

It's the same thought I had when I see #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter activists blocking state fair entrances, or screaming in traffic about their personal causes while inconveniencing working others: Why aren't these children in a classroom studying up so they can be admitted to law schools where they can get into the legal game and make a real difference?

The dirty truth is: anybody can "protest" and shout in the streets. It is much much harder to actually educate yourself to the issues, and get a job where you can make change in society. But the gays did it. From inside... from the legislatures, to the courtrooms, to the classrooms, to our own hearts and homes.

If you want it, you have to WORK for it.
Shouting at successful others, or worse -- trying to silence them -- is not how you create lasting legal change. Celebrity fame is a poor man's settlement, instead. Somebody should try to teach Greta that, at least.
