Finding one’s way in the wilderness

There used to be enough adults in the US so that kids could play around for a while. Not any more. You have to grow up at 18; no more of this at 20 if you aren’t a leftie you have no heart etc. If at 20 you are a leftie, then you will regret it for the rest of your life. Please read:

You Millenials voted for Obama by a margin of 28 percent, which will make it a lot easier for me to accept the benefits you will be paying for. We warned you that liberalism was a scam designed to take the fruits of your labor and transfer it to us, the older, established generation. Oh, and also to the couch-dwelling, Democrat-voting losers who live off of food stamps and order junk from QVC with their Obamaphones.

You didn’t listen to us. Maybe you’ll listen to pain.

Then go onto the article and read the rest.

As it happens, I don’t think the same as this author. I actually feel very sorry for those who are trying to grow up in the United States where to find the straight and narrow is difficult to the point of having become almost impossible. When I was growing up the straight and narrow was what our parents kept telling us to do. We all deviated in one way or another but we knew where the right path lay. I don’t think that’s true today at all.

On both coasts and in large parts across the middle, the adults are my generation, the generation that never grew up. Our advice is worthless but in the wilderness of conflicting opinions, where can anyone turn? A wilderness indeed.
