| Topic: Miscellaneous | 12:42 am EST, Jan 30, 2003 |  | ] When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears with] their tedious
 ] diatribes about how hard things were when they were
 ] growing up; what
 ] with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning
 ] uphill both ways
 ] through year 'round blizzards carrying their younger
 ] siblings on their
 ] backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they maintained
 ] a straight-A
 ] average despite their full-time after-school job at the
 ] local textile
 ] mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help
 ] keep their
 ] family from starving to death!
 ]
 ]
 ] And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there
 ] was no way in
 ] hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids
 ] about how hard
 ] I had it and how easy they've got it!
 ]
 ] But....

 ] Now that I've reached the ripe old age of twenty-nine, I
 ] can't help but
 ] look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it
 ] so fuckin'
 ] easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a
 ] goddamned Utopia!
