Macheath -- You are sort of right and sort of wrong.
We smoked pot because EVERYONE did - it wasn't a sign of being lazy, just pretty high sometimes - I don't see much wrong with it.
I don't think the kids are any more "stupid" than ever - same genes and intelligence (or lack of) in the gene pool as ever.
Kids can't be held responsible for themselves or whether they are lazy, etc. - it is their PARENT'S fault - lazy boomers who's kneejerk phoney and lazy instinct is to do the opposite of what their parents did; ie: be strict and look after their kids' work ethic and sense of responsibility.
Their only excuse is that now the norm is two incomes, so mom isn't home, etc. vs. only one parent working as was the older norm. This is a lame excuse because if you care and give a fark then you can make it work.
It is painfully obvious that the norm is now fat lazy kids. Not many of them are very mature and not many of them work. They dress like hobos and they look like idiots - good luck getting a real job when you are tatooed, pierced and wearing "pants" dragging the ground. - Not gonna happen...
