Hi,

As a child who was a teenager in the late 1960's, the ww2 generation (our parents) has all of the above complaints about us and frequently shared it with us. Now we have similar complaints about the generations that follow. It seems to follow "The older I am, the better I was!!!" Among college students who I employ every summer, I find the same level of work ethic in 2008 as 1986 when I hired on at Cornell Univ. I think our perspective changes as we age and we really cannot view the previous time in our lives with true objectivity.

just my 2 cents
