You are getting cranky. So you know a few young people that you worked with in the military. BFD. While they are some of our best and brightest they still represent a very small minority of the population. So you know a few young people in a demographic that represents less than 1% of the total population. And I have my head up my butt?!?

Hound, you forget the industry I work in. I am in the environmental field which unless you have your head up your butt would realize is not exactly the typical home for uberconservatives. I have vegans, tree huggers, Obama lovers, animal rights lovers, etc. that I work with. I have employees all over the US and in Canada and have worked in this industry for almost 25 years. I will gladly compare my qualifications and experience about what young people are thinking over yours any day.

As for my kids, they are free to think what they want and we have a very open dialogue with them about all sorts of things. If you think my kids are afraid to tell me what they think you are sadly misinformed. In fact, my oldest has a degree in recording arts and works in the the left wing field of graphic motion design for clients like the uberleftist CNN. My youngest wants to go into the theater and even though I dont think she will enjoy waiting tables I am encouraging her to pursue her passion in life. However, I will admit that they are all socially conservative as they went to a school that taught them to think critically. Having examined the evidence they too have concluded that only a mental midget would believe in the leftist agenda. They see the out of wedlock births, despite easy access to contraception. They see the explosion of STDs, despite easy access to condoms. They see the significant mental illness issues (depression, etc.), risky behavior and drug and alcohol abuse in the gay community despite greater than ever acceptance in society. They see the kids of divorced parents and how they have behavior problems, drug and alcohol abuse, etc. and have rightly concluded that the damage done to society by people that think like you is not worth the so-called freedom to live any way they want.

So Hound, pot....meet kettle......
