Quote:There's more to it than apathy.

 

Americans are less educated about their options today than they were even 2 or 3 decades ago.  They don't know the history of this nation, and they don't understand their role.  If they are voting, they're not doing any sort of research to determine what or who they should be voting for.  They become sheep who are spoon fed snippets and sound bytes and they use that to make their determinations. 


People don't take their rights seriously, and as a result, they're far too willing to sacrifice them.

 

Good points.

Show me one generation who has ever said - "you know, these kids today are a lot more concerned and smarter than we were." I don't think you'll find one. It's just human nature to think "we" are more worthy than the "sheep" that exist today.

 

 

 

 

How could they say that? lol...

 

Quote:29 and I'll tell you it's all down hill. It's not an old man thing, it's a reality thing. Welfare dependence up, Work down, Government bigger = down hill.

 

The people who don't want to see it simply won't. 

 

Quote:And if you listen to anyone under 30, you'd think they're the smartest generation ever to come along. 

 

 

 

 

Especially true today...

 

Quote:You're just an old soul, I guess (lol).

 

 

....and what exactly makes that a bad thing??

 

"Old souls" are generally much more intelligent, respectful and ethical than the new punks littering the landscape these days.
