I've been saying for awhile I think our country has pretty well run over the cliff already, but I feel like this just sums up all of the wonderful things our government does for us. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Eh....it's a good life. You can get wrapped up in a bunch of borderline paranoid rheteric or you can enjoy the hell out of the time you get. I spend alot of time with young people and I see a bright future....I certainly don't see a "lost generation". I guess it depends where you want to get your information from. My Grandparents thought we were all going to hell in a handbasket. I look around and I see alot of goodness. I hear my peers saying the next generation is ensuring we're all going to hell in a handbasket. I suspect my kids will wear down their own grandchildren with the same crap. Now get off my lawn.

Sensei ![]() | ![]() Woe is me... glass half empty? People have thought the country has been going down the toilet since it first was started and it's still here. I think it will be around a bit longer. We made it through world wars, cold war, civil war, slavery, segregation, assignations, 9/11, prohibition and gangsters, Columbia drug cartels, and the 1980's for god's sake (glam rock and those hair styles should have been an end to the free world). And NOW we are going to fall apart? |

That article sounded like it was written by Eeyore. So much easier to tear down than build something. I look at my kids and their friends and I see a pretty bright future.There will be major social/societal/economic/military issues to face and I'm sure they will be fine. Every generation had challenges. Since I have no idea what a handbasket it, I'm safe. Thanks LB! Speaking of good life, just got hold of a boat to take my boys and dad fishing over the 4th. That will be 3 generation of liars on board ![]() Edited by BrianRunsPhilly 2013-07-02 3:23 PM |
