My dad tells me stories about what his dad predicted about my dad's generation (end of civilization). My old man sure waxed pessimistically about ME and MY generation.

Of course they were both wrong. Each generation produced the good, the bad, and the ugly and the US survived quite nicely.

However, when I moan about the younger generation being the end of civilization, it is different.

Ah these kids with their crazy rock and roll, you call that music?

Get off my lawn!

And would it kill you to get a haircut?
