I agree, for many many years in this country changes made were well thought out, discussed and mulled over. Most people now expect, no demand instant solutions and changes. No thought is given to consequences of actions taken or not taken. Many things that on the surface seem like good ideas or solutions turn out to be disasters when put in action. We now seem to do things like children, act impulsively and then have to deal with unintended results.
That is exactly right. Instant gratification is demanded, from probably the most spoiled generation in history. Lets face it, we are getting older. The talk, intense aguments and eventual concensus we are used to has been replaced by an exchange of emails and a refusal to agree on anything.
Age doesn’t mean wisdom. As I said elsewhere, Experience is knowing IF you should say no, wisdom is knowing WHEN you should say no. Seems to me that the only time we say no is as a negative, not as a positive.
