Everything good peaked at the previous generation after millennia of improvement, but is now going down hill. For any value of "now" that you wish to use getting its previous generation to make the valuation. Well, an example of that might be my own childhood, and that "past generation." Eighty-percent of the people owned their own homes, twenty-percent were buying (mortgages, renting, etc.) -- today that is totally upside down and an excellent indication of the trouble we are in ... So is renting an example of a generation being dumber? They choose to rent instead of buy because they are dumb? Or is it they are dumb enough to create the economy where it made more sense to rent than to buy? -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
