Quick Get The Camera!

I'm not the start of this problem but, I was there as it was happening. The problem?
It's the ME GENERATIONS. Speaking in general.

I am a "BabyBoomer" and the BabyBoomers started The me Generation, I'm sad to say.

It wasn't so pronounced then as it is today because we still cared about People. Helped
People. Aided People.

In the late 50's and early 60's, on Halloween we NEVER worried about our candy
being poison, our apples didn't have pins and razor blades in them. We wouldn't
hesitate to ask a stranger for water and we weren't afraid to go into their house to
get it. We weren't afraid to WALK home from the movies.

But, after WWII, the times were good. Much better than today. And people were
still pretty close knit.

I watched the BabyBoomer/Me Generation have kids and were permissive parents.
This spoil the kids a little. Then they grew up and had kids and were more permissive
than their parents Etc. This continued to today.

As we went from good to bad we had the YUPPIE, Cluppy,Clappy ,Crappie or
what ever they called them selves. It just went, me, mE, Me, ME.

The ME's, today, show their ME mentality the world over.

The ME's have no conscious, no  Empathy,  they try to get your money anyway
possible, they lie, cheat and steal. And have ABSOLUTELY no remorse. As long
as they get what the WANT.

Now we have children killing children in Schools. In my day if we took a Squirt
Gun to School we could have been suspended for atleast a day. Back then Scool
was for Learning not Playing. Today I guess it's just for Killing.

He looked at me wrong........BANG
He Dist(?) me......................BANG
I want his Shoes..................BANG
OOOOO nice Jacket..........BANG
Why are you in my HOOD..BANG

What the HELL is going on.

For years I have said that when Children get into trouble,crime their punishment should
be more sever than just slapping them on the wrist and sending them home.

Children, from birth to 18yrs old are in their formative years. This is the time that children
learn how to live in society. But, what are they learning? This is what they are learning;
"If I do I might get caught but I'm a Minor Ha Ha what can they do to me" Ask any
kid under 18. They are NOT being taught to be a decent member of society.

Now when there is a shooting, someone hit by a car or have a car accident the yougsters
,of today, grab their CAMERA instead of things to help the situation.

Let me give you an example of how I was raised.

In Dec. 1968, I was 2 weeks from getting an honorable discharge.
Some people had a  party to celebrate everything. I have to admit that in my younger days
I got drunk 1 a week. But a fairly responsible drunk. So....we are having this party and
I think we needed more beer. Everyone was drunk but I seemed to be the Soberest one
so I drove the car. Eventhough, on a 4 lane street I saw 8 lanes. Yea pretty drunk.

I drove as carefully as I could ( No Accident ).

Now here is the seperation of me and the kids today.

While getting beer we came upon a 2 car accident just seconds after it happened.
I stopped and found 4 injured people. 2 from each car. 2 young girls and an elderly
couple. I assesed this situation, calmed the injured people and applied what First Aid
I could. Then kept an eye on all of them till medical help arrived. AND I'M DRUNK
but sobering up FAST.

When I first saw the accident my first thought was.....I GOT TO SEE IF I CAN HELP
not QUICK GET THE CAMERA.

What Is The Matter With People, In General, today?

Peace
