    We got problems in the future....

    I was watching the news today and there was a poll on what the current generation feels would work best. 45% thought Socialism is best and 33% thought Capitalism is good. The one thing pointed out is the current generation hates bankers. They want a system which they can get anything they want! Yep I would say, so long as they do not have to work for it. Do you think we will have a problem in the future, I do?

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    I agree completely. My sons generation all feel they are entitled to have everything now. I've tried to explain to him they can have everything, but I takes time to build up savings to get it. But instead they go to a rental center and pay 4 times the cost to get 1/2 of the quality, just so they can have it now.

    Plus, they have had the government giving them things their whole life, so they don't know any different.

    eagle326: "cannon fodder"

    Must disagree. The described generation barely knows about firing anything larger than a weapon on a videogame, never mind a cannon... and would break and run at the least imperilment to their hides.

    The very few who would not, and are at something useful, I have deep sympathy for. Especially the ones in uniform these past seven years. Zampolits instead of officers, and a CINC that isn't. Poor souls.

    What's the saying... "The future is now."?

    & such great fun it is to watch , ainit? Able to do little more than survive it and hope that of those so very few younger ones, there will be enough to rebuild without the crack of the whip and the clank of chains.

    Your 1st. sentence was exactly my point.Back in the old days Generals would throw all the bodies they had at the enemy. And they in turn would unleash the cannons and muskets or rifles in later times and decimate the on rushing hordes of enemy.

    Thus the term ( cannon fodder )

    Must disagree, there, sir. The above described lot wouldn't know what to do with a cannon, and they aren't worth hacking to bits and stuffing into the piece as ammunition.

    I wryly note that, while I have no heirs that would contribute to the solution, I also have no heirs that would contribute to the problem, having been careful not to leave heirs at all. And at 55, it's a little late.
