This is NZ today

This saddens me... No matter where you go on earth, our youth have possibly reached a new "all-time low". I know that what I see here in Massachusetts makes me wonder where we'll end up in 20 years?!?!?

Or, is it a case of each generation having that thought? I wonder what my grandparents thought when they were watching the "hippies" at woodstock on television?

I wonder also whether or not each generation has the same thoughts,but I am sure that our generation had more respect for our elders than a very large percentage of this current batch of teens to late twenties...
I would like to think so anyway..

Oh YES! We certainly had / have much more respect for those around us and ourselves! "They" are far more worried about being dis-respected and haven't figured out that to get it, you must give it!
