Pretty good piece by Stossel.
I believe he is 100% correct that older Americans decry the modern age because they simply don’t understand it. Numbers and facts. It’s the same old story from 20 years ago....40 years ago.....60 years ago....and beyond. New fangled inventions mess with the young peoples’ minds they think all while forgetting about how their elders thought the same of radio, cars, TV, surfing, and, computers. People communicate today more than they have at any point in human history. They do so in a way different than years past, but, they do it. With sex and violence blasted across the waves to them, they are doing less of both.
It’s rather incredible actually.
Get off my lawn!!!
Are things really that different today...
From 1965
What a drag it is getting old
“Kids are different today,”
I hear ev’ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill
There’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
Personally I think “IDIOCRACY” is a documentary.
