Rule No. 1: Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teen-ager uses the phrase "It's not fair" 8.6 times a day. You got it from your parents, who said it so often you decided they must be the most idealistic generation ever. When they started hearing it from their own kids, they realized Rule No. 1.

I do not know about the 'it's not fair' deal but I certainly get tired of hearing, 'I'm bored.' Man, that gets by goat. Growing up I had black and white TV with three channels and a piece of aluminum foil to get reception on the antenna. Cable TV was something you hang your TV with. There was no PSP, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, DS, Nintendo. The best I had was TV pong. Cartoons would play for 1 hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Saturday was the big cartoon day. It was not pumped in via cable 24/7 and on six different channels. Riding a bike was my favorite past time.
