Yep, just like the old tale that says; Grand parents work hard to build the business, their kids only just maintain the business and then grand kids throw it away.
The rise and rise of the "ME" generation who are synonomous with the "grand kids" may well mean that our societies will have to go through a cyclic low before a new generation has the will to start the hard work again as the Grand parents did.
At the moment, the "me" generation seem to be quite happy navel gazing and developing reasons why it is someone elses fault that the world is not to their liking.
Maybe it is a function of getting to my stage of life but, I do worry about my kids, my grand kids and what sort of Orwellian society they may create for themselves.
I hope they wake up but if they don't, I hope I am old smelly bones by then.
I am having a morbid moment perhaps.
Cheers.
