Everything you say can directly be linked back to the 60's when everything started going downhill.....the kids today have had no role models, come from broken homes, has a media that tells them bad is good,

Yeah. As I said, life sucks in America, especially to those who have built some idyllic view of life in the 50s, when the average lifespan was 66 years, most jobs were boring as hell, and blacks were forced to use separate drinking fountains.

You live in the most benevolent country in the entire history of the universe. Any 20-something who gripes about his lack of opportunity or the moral decadence all around him is somebody I want to slap out of his selfishness and say "Go out there and make something happen. Change things, instead of waiting to be led around by the hand."

America was never perfect, I have said that many times. Life was better for children (yes, even Blacks). Do you think most black children who grow up in the ghetto are better off now because they can use the same drinking fountain as I?

And you can rest assured that many of us are making changes in our world. Who just took over Congress for the first time in 40 years? Conservatives! It is a cycle, thank God, and things seem to be turning back the other way.

Yes, we live in the best country in the world. And, while you may want to slap the younger ones out of their "selfishness" and insist they go do something about the moral decadence, the generation that espoused the view that we must accept all on equally moral terms, regardless of the deviance of his/her behavior, has bequeathed to us a country and a culture in which such a discussion is illegal in many settings. So, I am not sure how best to please you, apart from stilfing my outrage and continuing to abide by the laws the loveniks left us.

Surely, this is the most humble and self-effacing country as well.
