Hard for them to understand those types of things if their predecessors don't pass along the meaning. It's not in the schools and probably not in most households any longer.

What's that verse....
It's like "work ethic". How do you instill that attribute in a kid who's smart enough to see that the Country's being led into socialism, and that nearly half feel entitled to what he's being told he needs to bust butt to earn?

sinjefe's right about the "me" generation; it's turning into the WHOGAS generation, and from the top down.
