We have lost our competitive edge in the world because failing a kid in school or not kissing his or her ass because they didn't win. Being good at something should count for, well, something. Trying hard is just not always good enough. The "greatest generation" I believe was so great was because they actually gave up a lot in order for this country to survive. I should know. I grew up in the 70's and have not really had to sacrifice much of anything.

So, I think the guys coming back to the front seat A) either have no life
B) need the money, C) want the money D) need and want the money.
And if you think they care or lose sleep over what anyone says, or how they are screwing the junior folks, then think again.
I agree with everything in the first paragraph. The second one I don't know about because I'm not there, so I take your word for it.
