How do you know when you're getting old.....when the music's too loud! The younger generation is pushing boundaries just like we did. You turned out ok and so did I (well I'm not so sure about me).
Here's a quote for you "Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.” That wasn't said by a commentator on Fox, it was said by Socrates in Ancient Greece.

 I think that elders have always despaired about youth, in the time of Ancient Greece and today, in 2014. And most of us turn out OK.
