We have become the most productive country in the world and are paying the price. | Amen to that! We are definitely in a society of "want it now". We have instant this, fast that, express everything! I feel that our upcoming generation should be called the "entitlement generation". They expect everything given to them or they are entitled to it. They are "entitled to go to school" at SOMEONE's expense. They are entitled to have having a good job w/ good benefits. They are entitled to have whatever they want regardless of how hard they work to get it....it's just owed to them. These kids don't wanna work their way up to be bank president...they just want to be bank president...because it's owed to them.
