I think most people, other than parents talking about their own kids,
have serious doubts about the upcoming generation and the world they
might create..  That said, I'm sure our parents said the same thing
about our generation when we were young..

I actually recall a supper conversation when my father told my
brother that he was a total failure..
My brother was 10 at the time.

But usually they survive fine. They may be a little warped but
once they actually get out in the world they learn what they can
get away with and what they can't and what is needed to survive,
or they don't..


"There has probably never been a generation since the paleolithic that
did not deplore the fecklessness of the next, and worship a golden
memory of the past.."    Matt Ridley
