The youth of today need a cause.

[Mr. Ed]

As baby boomers we had something to believe in, ourselves and how we were going to change the world in which we lived in. There is very little going on as far as I can tell in today's youth. Racial violence and tension remains high, I don't understand why people hate each other to the degree of causing physical/mental harm and death to a living being.

Then there is the have's and have not's social economical structor where one half struggles to get by on pennies a day while the super wealthy have their own problems to deal with. I believe where ever I am in life is exactly where I am supposed to be and wishing differently is merely the beginning stage of doing differently to promote change.

In the 50's, 60's & 70's we had the Civil Rights Movement, Anti-War movement, we had the music, experimentation of drugs, Women's Movement, Sexual Revolution and government opposition. All we need to is put all of these things into place and turn the world over to the youth under the provision of change.

Us old folks walk away.

. There never was a time when we all sat around the fire, held hands, and sang songs. We have a long bloody history through every era. And today's kids are committed to racial equality, social justice, protection of the environment, and climate change. Just look at the kids of the Florida school with those mass killings. Every generation comes up with its particular causes, and I've always been fascinated as to how they do it. In the 50s-70s was our time in the sunshine. The young are now having theirs.

Yeah, but it’s not right because I don’t understand it, sarcasm

IMO every generation since the beginning of time has had its priorities, challenges, failures, and achievements.

I also believe that if we do not look kindly on the youth of today we need to examine the generation that raised them and sent them out into an imperfect world that they didn't create.

They'll figure it out just like the rest of us did.

And the Neanderthals didn't have hemorrhoids either!

As for me, and my wife, we have both found that inner-city young folks have much anger and stuff than the farm/ranch young folks do. The farm/ranch young folks don't hang out at local malls and have responsibilities of farm/ranch life. I know how much responsibility I had on our farm.
