It's not h...I had 22(!) and I thank God for it. It's not how many years you've been alive; it's what you've done (been required to do; accomplished; learned; adapted) in those years. You know, every generation will eventually begin a conversation with someone younger by saying, "when I was your age we didn't have.....and we had to......" This is usually meant to imply things were tougher, the younger generation has it easier, and the youngsters are different and not quite up to par. <br>But you know, as a member of the baby-boom generation and someone who interacts with young adults daily, I truly do see a difference today. By in large (not all mind you), this generation is not up to par and I can summarize why in one word...entitled. And you want to know why they have a sense of entitlement? Because of the baby-boom generation...us! We did it! We did it to ourselves, our kids, and our country. So next time you complain about the sorry state of our economy, our foreign policy, and our kids today, you had better be looking in a mirror. And when you go to vote, remember that all these politicians have given us everything we've asked for, and we deserve it. <br>But you know what? Our kids don't deserve the mess that we've created. It's time for real hope & change that is based on the core values that our founding fathers (and mothers) possessed.Mark Baldishttp://YourWebsitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190363847001030078.post-2826216708481701472013-01-24T13:47:40.000-08:002013-01-24T13:47:40.000-08:00[...] Eye Opening [...][...] Eye Opening [...]The Myth of Middle-Class Stagnation… | Marty's Market View Bloghttp://www.betweenthelines.us/myth-middle-class-stagnation/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190363847001030078.post-72092262146427372802013-01-28T07:08:21.000-08:002013-01-28T07:08:21.000-08:00[...] Here’s Marty Mazorra, from a few months ago,...[...] Here’s Marty Mazorra, from a few months ago, on the myth of middle-class stagnation.

That was also a time when you didn't need a computer to work on a car and didn't require permission from the APCD to make any changes you wanted.
