Who you calling "Kid"? I'm a grandmother and a baby boomer and I don't think the "Greatest Generation" is a sacred cow no matter how many blue hairs they have.

Futhermore, my children are Gen-Xers, and it's their generation that's fighting the war on terror, and maybe it's high time we started cutting these "Kids" some slack.

They don't have the same future to look forward to, that the "greatest generation" had. So if anyone is falling down on the job, perhaps it's due to a self-congratulatory and self-aggrandizing generation that bailed-out when the check came due while they were busy patting themselves on the back.

Absolutely correct. They have potential ten-fold over the blue haired crowd. They'll pee it away at their own peril. Perhaps a few of them listened to someone who'd been around, someone with character, someone in whom they had trust.

Perhaps not.
