Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. -- Carl Sagan
In response to the OP. It think its due to people now a days only caring for them selves and no one else, on top of that the "herded sheep" mentality of people today who can not think for them selves and only fallow the masses. Im only 22 years old, I may not have lived that long to know a whole lot or to be wise enough to understand how the world really works, but it is very freighting to see people much older than me and who should be much wiser than me, not question things that they see or hear. It is very scary that no one thinks for them selves anymore, and even scarier that these traits are being passed on to the younger generations.
Yay! Cigars!
You say that you're surprised that people your parents age would act this way. I'm not, because remember we went from the "Greatest Generation", to the baby boomers, who are arguably the worst. Not that mine is any better - they can't even seem to move out of their parent's house.
End of line.
Some of the children of the sixties spent their youth despising patriotism. This can sometimes show through as open disrespect for conservative government officials, or conservatives in general. I imagine these attitudes followed them into late adulthood. Though it is disheartening to still see it, I think the level of national pride has increased quite a bit since the days of Vietnam. We may not be perfect, and we may all not agree, but we are a country and a team. We have the right to disagree, and the responsibility to do it respectfully and with dignity. Now, light up and relax!![]()
