I'm under the impression that complaints along those lines--you
forgot stupid and lazy--are documented since antiquity.
It seems every generation makes those claims about their youngsters.
Which is something I don't understand. I'm not surprised that the
younger generation fails to understand the point of view of their
parents, but the elders have been young at one time and there is
no excuse for them not remembering. Why are people so utterly blind
to any point of view but their own?
