The Service has Leaves, Employers have Vacations, Dick Vermeil and Vince Lombardi burned out and had to quit and get their heads together before returning. John Wooden never screamed at anyone and managed to eke out a couple of W's. Today's kids are human beings like all the us before them but somehow they are the doom of civilization.
Stop it with we were tougher in the old days. My generation has made hash of the world and we are dumping it on our kids. We should be on our knees begging forgiveness for hosing up their birthright.
The world they have to compete in is infinitely tougher than anything any baby boomer had to deal with. Do not worry they will have to work their way all the way around the bases unlike us who were born on third and think we hit triples.
The last two generations are 1-2 in wars and spent the country into the biggest beggar nation in history. Our record is terrible and implying that any given 22 year old high achiever that needs to recharge his battery is a symbol for the decay of the nation is misguided and wrong.
The correct lens is to pray our kids will learn from our mistakes and be better than us. Just like every generation in our history was...until us.
