I guess it all comes down to priorities and the fact that theirs are frighteningly modern.



This is exactly what I am talking about. Our priorities (because of the almighty dollar and TV, IMHO) are completely messed up. It's all about them and instant gratification..Me, me, me, want, want, want, as my mother used to say. And you're right, it's not just the 20-somethings...It's frightening to say the least.

GGG, we don't mean all 20-somethings. I'm just going by my own experiences.
