Do you ever worry about the future of this country?

[Big_McLargehuge]

Every generation has worried about the future and worried about/criticized the upcoming generation.

Everything will work out, just like it always has. It just may not work out to be an exact duplicate of your life, childhood memories, or expectations.

“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”

- Socrates

OP's feelings are by no means new. I would bet that the elders of OP's youth probably said a few words that echo is opinion back then.

One day the kids will look back at us and talk about the freedom that we had, that they do not.

Just like the freedom that our great grandfathers had, that we do not.

As long as people like SMS keep having kids, we'll be fine.

And if the Baby Boomers didn't/don't ruin America...no other generation can.

Yep. There have been several times lately that I've thought to myself "Self, you sound JUST LIKE Grandpa ..."

Of course I didn't realize it at the time but grandpa, and dad were right.

Yep. And we are right now. I do worry about what my grandchildren are gonna have ... or more likely not have ... when they are grown up.
