To: ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY

Was forced to read Catcher in high school.

Loathed it. I just thought the narrator was an utterly immature jerk.

But then I watched “The Breakfast Club” recently on Netflix and sympathized more with the mean vice-principal than with the snarky brat-pack. LOL

One of the most popular liberal bumper stickers is “Question Authority.” What they never seem to recognize is that this implies sometimes there is an answer. Sometimes the authority is right.

When I saw that movie as a teenager, in the 80s, I didn't sympathize with those spoiled brats one bit. I couldn't believe the silly stuff they were whining about. The moral of that whole movie was "Even if you have a decent life, blame everything bad on your parents". Except that all of their parents in the movie were far better than what I had, so I just laughed at the characters as being a bunch of sheltered, spoiled little snivelers. I imagine watching it now would be even worse.
