All the training in the world won't stop the kids from absorbing the generational imperitive.

Do you think self-righteous condescenscion is going to bridge, or widen this gap?

Did you ever wonder how my generation came to be self-absorbed? It's very easy to consider everything outside of your own personal space irrelevant when attempting to effect anything outside of that space gets you ignored, clubbed, or pilloried in the media.

But more on-topic, I leave doors open for those following soon behind me, help people if they drop things, and I say "thanks" when others do this for me. Doesn't matter how old they are or if they've got a dick or not.
