A Tribute to Mick Smith

[Patriot76]

Be at peace my friend. It's just the cycle of life. Our fathers and grandfathers felt the same way in their time.



< smiles > I remember grandpa watching the news on black and white TV back in the 60's. He was always saying : "What's the world coming to ?"

I'm glad i'm old too. We've carried the torch long enough.

Regardless .... RIP Mick.

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.

A tale as old as time, every generation thinks the younger generation has it easier than them. But then again isn't that the goal? Ask any parent, "do you wish for your kids to have an easier or harder life than you?" ..... everyone wants their kids to have a better life, and with technology and wealth continually moving forward, that is a pretty easy task to achieve.

Most kids aren't our working the farm all day so their family doesn't starve to death anymore. And that's a good thing I think.

HOWEVER there is a bunch of little ****-heads running around that need a good beating. But that is the result of being raised wrong (which is the parents/older generations fault). Plenty of younger people work hard, are respectful, and do well for themselves.
