Most of the builders are of an older venue and grew up with being taught the ideas of self reliance, pride in the individual, self worth, and patience to do thing's right. Now days it is not the individual but the whole, pride has been replaced with a it don't matter, and self reliance with someone else will take care of it. I truly feel sorry for future generations of whom will be robotic in nature, an individual with very little abilities nor much care to have them. It's almost that bad now!
