I think it very important we make our selves heard to try to retain the values we grew up with.  Not speaking up is a complete failure on our part.

Long years ago I sat on my grandpa's front porch listening to the 
problems of the younger generation (the ones who fought WWI and Korea). 
To me a lot of this sounds much the same. Yes I have strong political 
beliefs which don't fit with the current climate but it serves little 
purpose to grouse about that here.

I promise they will brag about hauling hay in July, just like we do, one day.   Their performance sucks, but truth be told mine probably did do.  The baton we pass is a funny, fickle thing.
