What do you think of the future? It's looking pretty bleek to me. People used to say children are our future when I was a kid, but I look at today's youth of mouthy, whining, nagging, disrespectful, ungrateful, mtv'd kids and I fear. for about 1990 years kids were raised to do well in school and respect others. But these days kids don't get spanked or for that matter punished and are living in the age of the uneffective timeouts and groundings. I bring this up because everywhere I've been in the past couple years I see kids running their parents, and I worry the world will grow up thinking they can tell everyone what to do, and if that doesn't work they'll just shoot them. Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, and there are many great kids out there, but I'm worried that in my kids future there will be too many bad people for him to find the good ones.
