If they had to face the draft they'd be more motivated. Oh wait, then they'd tear the country up like the boomers did. Better that they stay dumber and dumberer.
....because they spend their precious time reading irrelevant blogs full of useless information that's focused on a glorious past that will never be rekindled. Oops, errr, sorry -- that's us.
My two blogs, Outside In and Uncommon Bostonian, are well written and intelligent. Of course, I am more intelligent than Charles. This was proven back in 1997.
The younger generation is dumb. Whenever I say "Elvis," they incorrectly assume I'm talking about Elvis Costello. I always have to tell them that "Elvis" means Elvis Presley. If I was talking about Elvis Costello, I would say "Elvis Costello."
When I was a kid, we didn't have all those fancy high tech gadgets. We didn't even have electricity! We lived in a cardboard box in the middle of the road.
I once heard a joke in which various generations thought Dylan was a Welsh poet's first name, the Voice of a Generation, that guy who sounds like Dire Straits or the lead singer of the Wallflowers last name... all correct answers in their own experiental contexts. 3 of them wrong in yours.
Being understood is easy compared to completely avoiding being misunderstood. Assume...and make an ass out of u & me.
