Anybody Wonder Why The Country's Going To The Dogs?

Check out this article - it's about mothers who "do everything" for their... ADULT CHILDREN! I will happily tell you that the country who raises children with the silly, spoiled, and stupid behaviors of the "Me Generation" (the goofy Baby-Boomer types) will be a country facing a quick and unhappy end. These are people who will raise a kid who, when the Drill Instructor tells him to "Adapt, Improvise, and OVERCOME!" will merely shrink like a flower.

We could be raising a generation of Americans that are so pathologically soft that, when the Goths or the Vandals are at our borders slaughtering our women and children, all they will be able to do is to shriek like 10 year-old girls and hide in the woods.

I agree that this generation (my own generation) is spoiled. To see some examples, see my recent post about the rude behavior of college students in the dining hall.

I've seen it firsthand. I went back for a second degree in 1995, and was somewhat appalled at the semi-collapse of "polite society" that I knew the first time I went into school back in '82.

But, "it is what it is," as we are fond of saying at work.

Times have changed on us, and we should probably change to the "more gritty" reality of today's life (more and more urbanized, that is) than the more polite days of yesteryear.

I will comment on your post, KK.
