Neo-realism and tag

Dear David,

The world stage is a junior school playground.

The men who head the world's nations are little boys, showing their toy-guns, wanting to have the biggest.

They play swopsies for oil and weapons, they play war to be the big guy in the world. They keep their 'best-buddies' close and swagger around the yard, arm-in-arm. This way they look twice as big and can shout twice as loud.

In every era there is one boy lucky enough to have the richest parents. He has a house full of toy-guns and because all the other boys so admire the toy-guns, he is in charge. His toy-guns are his power and make him special. (He believes he is because his Mother told him he was special and blessed.)

The other boys want to be like him too. They save all their money to buy toy-guns like his and bring them to the playground. The rich boy doesn't feel so special anymore when somebody else has a toy-gun like his. He'll take it and he'll break it and he'll break them too. He says 'I'm the only one allowed big toy-guns in this playground. You're not special and you can't have them. If I find you sneaking any toy-guns into the playground, I'll break them and I'll break you and I'll break your family too'

Now although it's not fair that one little boy should be not only rich and mean but holding all the toy-guns, if all little boys all had toy-guns there would be chaos in the playground. When boys play with toys their favourite game is Cowboys and Indians. Many toy-guns get broken and all other toys in the playground that aren't even playing the game get hurt too.

Now if all the boys were taken out of the playground and just the girls were left alone, the picture is quite different.

Girls like to skip round and round the playground, hugging their girl-friends and singing songs and thinking about who they can kiss. They bring in little Barbie doll-people and think up nice lives for their Barbies to live out. They put them in nice clothes and feed them cups of tea and do their hair. They talk to the other girls about the future of their Barbies and their Barbies babies and what a great time that will be. They put their Barbies in bed at night and kiss them on the forehead and make sure the dark doesn't scare them. They love their Barbie-dolls and would never do anything to harm them.
