<< This is a society that finds any way it can to whine when it is faced with
an
uncomfortable truth, or is being told that it is deficient in some way.  It
wants to be lazy in its pattern of thinking, yet demands to be treated as
though it thinks with an advanced mind.  This is the most selfish and bratty
society that I can possibly imagine, and I have little respect for it.  It
wants a raise for showing up for work on time -- once.  The reason I can talk
this way is because I have too often put my money where another person's
mouth has been while that person has run off to hide in a corner.
