And even if it is worse today, it isn't everyone.
I started to write a smartass comment about the need to stand when you walk into the room, but my better angels said no. Plus, I've seen my son do it. Again he's a better person than I am.

Those are not my words, they are those of ancient Greeks about the youth of 2500 years ago. Just pointing out that complaints about lazy kids is nothing new.
