Yes, our 50 some generation was looked at in a manner of criticism as we of today may see this generation. The idea of the kids of toay being the "generation of entitlement" is the fault of the previous generation giving in to the commercialism . I wouldn't dared to have said to my parents " But their parents let them do/get it ". No way would that fly with them. Get a job if you want something . Raking the leaves meant you rake the leaves , not give you a quarter to rake the leaves. There was a way we learned that doing something for someone else was showing respect. Respect has been lost , there is no respect for the elders, the earth, & no respect for each other. What is put before us is the monetary value of everything , prestige and convenience ( the easy way out). I won't knock convenience to much, using a washboard is not what I want to see in my future, but I have hung clothes on a line to dry. Action with being aware of consequence to future generations is not always possible , but there is knowledge being withheld of consequences known by governments and companies . Mainstream media is (my point of view) a money maker and means of taking your concerns to a designated place. Just a question , did many of you know that the FDA has made an attack on small farms selling raw (unpasteurized ) milk ? Isn't this a choice of what we consume being overzealous when swat type tactics are being used to raid farmer co-ops and dumping milk or pouring dyes in the supplies .
There is the world that needs to change and the world we need to protect from change.
Rant over .
