"...would like nothing more than to give the whole instant-gratification seeking, peer-oriented lot of them a good attention-span enema. Yeah, sure, I'm getting old. That's a fact. And I'm not happy about it. Another fact. But at least I remember what came before, and I know I'm not entitled, and the world is not here to serve me, or keep me entertained, or hypnotized."
Goodness gracious, I was born in '82 and I feel that way. I have trouble walking down the street or reading news stories about the "kids these days" without wanting to set the lot of them on fire. And the sad thing is they wouldn't even notice because they'd be zombie-like texting some inane comment to one of their oh-so-many friends.
