Patience is a virtue. Boy, I sure have to be patient with the sluggishness of the OOTP website.
But on second thought, we do have it... eventually... something is better than nothing... thank goodness we still have an OOTP website.
EC is old curmudgeon, not too impressed with the younger generations.
But on second thought, I have to give the current generation much credit. They are much more tolerant of others that look different from them, that live a life and lifestyle different from them. They are far more tolerant than my 1950s generation is... far more tolerant to people that travel to the beat of a different drum.
I have learned this from the current generation. Thank you, young folks.
Here is what most of us think about the youth of today.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers".
Written by Socrates 400 B.C.
