The first rule is "Life is not fair — get used to it." The fourth one is "You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself." That is followed directly by "Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping — they called it opportunity."

Young people? I talk like this to ADULT liberals.

...and no, they don't quite get it either.

My son, who is 17, has been working since he was 14.I gave him an ultimatum: Sports or music to occupy his time. He came to me askig "Can I get a job instead"? He didn't exactly lie about his age. He just let the grocery store assume he was turning 15 soon(The minimum age they would hire). I didn't think he would last a week. He values the independence more than anything.

Right on, and I tell my Boy Scouts, "DO good and you"ll feel good". Very simple, the first word is a VERB. Just breathing air doesn't make one a wonderful person.

Liberals are nothing more than spoiled 12-year-olds in adult bodies. The pyschobabble term that comes to mind is "arrested development."
