    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?
