I beg to differ....and I have no problem embracing change.

But 40 years ago your kids could go out anywhere without worrying about some twisted creep lurking in the shadows.

You could ALWAYS trust a Cop, A Priest, A Scout Leader and your Coach....now they automatically get the leary eye whenever they talk to a kid

There was not a steady and readily accessible stream of porn on a device that sits in the kids bedroom.

Kids were outside, playing, all day until the street lights went on.....now we have 200 pound 10 year olds that the only body part that is in shape is their 2 thumbs

if somebody did something stupid you chalked it up as such.....and nobody lost their house in a lawsuit because of Your own stupidity.

I would never, EVER, think about talking to an adult the way kids do now-a-days. If I swore at an adult i would expect 2 a$$-kickings, one from the adult I swore at and 1 from my dad for making said adult kick my A$$ for that reason.

Do you know that the Empire State building was built in 13 months....13 months, and within budget. the american machine was rolling, nobody even got killed during its construction.......the Big Dig has been going on how long and fat cat politicians are still getting rich from its failure.


We are now living in a time of "Entitlement".......everyone thinks they are Entitled to everything......and god forbid if they don't get it, Someone get sued

What REALLY caused the downfall.....a friggen cup of McDonalds Coffee....because that was when people realized a lawyer could get you anything.

Rant Over
