We have an entire generation that has no shame in being "taken care of" instead of standing on their own two feet. We have kids that are educated by liberals spewing their philosophy and political correctness in everything from Engish Lit. to Math. These same kids are going to after school "B.F. Skinner" type programs which further conditions them to "liberal speak". The kids spend more time with total strangers than their own family and therefore see the State as their parental guidance.
They have been led to believe pseudo-scientists like "Mr. Greenjeans", Al Gore, and clowns like Michael Moore. They think that actors have credibility. They think an Oliver Stone movie is factual. They are not required to defend the Country that gives them the right to say or do virtually any stupid thing that they please. They have come to believe that Europeans have it better than we. They have been brainwashed into the collective American guilt trip of self loathing, that we are bad and everyone else has it right. We have allowed them to grow up in a permissive society where a child runs the family. Where it takes 2 parents working, where children have structured play time allowing no imagination, where every waking moment is scheduled, where there is no religious spirituallity, where it is OK to wear tattos and have classes on the proper usage of a condom but you can be suspended for praying.
We have an adult population that is working their butts off to chase the dollar to afford their lifestyles and allow their ungrateful children to go to private schools and expensive after school programs. These same adults were raised by the hippies and radical left of the 60's whose parents told them to "do there own thing" and be "real to yourself" spawning the present selfishness that pervades this Country.
We have generated an entire generation that cannot think for themselves. They believe more in the hype than the substance, e.g. the energy saving light bulb, on the surface seems good, right,...wrong! It contains mercury, it takes 5 steps to dispose of it not including the gasoline needed to drive the material to a toxic waste dump!!! Nice, eh? How about the electric car? It takes more energy to produce and maintain than a carbon fuel car. The batteries are made of expensive, toxic materials, the energy needed to make the parts is still derived from carbon based fuel. The electricity needed for recharging is produced from carbon based fuel. The used batteries need to be disposed in a toxic waste dump. The pollution from electric motors is OZONE which causes respiratory problems and the "green house effect" of the atmosphere.
No one seems to think of the consequences of their actions, including the government.
