The slang expression of "Kids" instead of calling them what they are "Children" is a demeaning of them and the human race as a whole. But is it also part of the subjugation principle of those that seek to control and or subjugate us.
The slang term "Kids came about in the 1960's but at first was considered improper English and disdainful. It was not used in schools or churches...and get this; even the media shunned the term! It was considered vulgarity and not used except in disdain... however speed forward to today and it is even in the dictionary.
The dignity of mankind is slipping into the abyss.
Instead of elevating mankind to higher quest for perfection, we are systematically stripping away proper language, meaning, knowledge and morals.
Kids are young Goats
The depiction of Satan is partially goat and partially man creature dating back to the early Christians when they began demonizing the gods of the people they converted to Christianity. Therefore the image of Satan was a blend of the image of the old Greek God Pan (Celtic God Herne) and Man. Sop as Children were more rambunxious and frantic in thought, speech, play and action, the nomicker of small develish critters began to take hold (and why originally shunned).
From a Christian viewpoint, a passage in Matthew may give further explanation:
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory,...he shall set the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left; then shall the King say unto the sheep, 'Come ye who are blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundations of the world.' Then shall the Kings say unto the goats on the left; 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into everlastng fire prepared for the devil and his angels'. - (Matt. 25:31-41)
For the sake of Humanity going forward, maybe we should again call them Children and disdain as well as refrain calling them Kids.
