I love the baby boomers for what they contributed to the world. Good food, good art, good tunes, love, and community to name a few. I blame the dead beat dads from the 80's, 90's and up leaving everything up to single parent moms. Moms by nature are loving creatures and dads are typically the law enforcers of the house. Too many times I've seen kids walk all over their mom and she's so whooped from providing for the kids she don't have the energy to deal with them. Boys are the worst with treating their moms like crap. The best friend thing from what I've seen here in the south is mostly mom and daughter relationships. Honestly those daughters seem to be doing more for self than the boys lacking a positive father figure in their life to teach them how to be a man. Moms can't teach a boy to be a man because they don't know how to. Thus we are left with a lazy gender natural society. Think it's bad now give it 20 more years.
I also blame the government for the youth being lazy. I honestly believe in the words "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." But that's all out the window now days because the government gives way too many people a free ride only contributing to America being more and more lazy! If there wasn't food stamps, welfare and government housing a lot more people would get off their butts and start working, and growing their own food. Even in urban areas they would have to help in community gardens to eat if they didn't make enough money to buy food. I think it would make our nation a stronger one and only the ones with real disabilities should be able to benefit from government aids. Then maybe just maybe all of us that do work will someday have some social security waiting on us when we reach that point.
