Hi Aqua and OFriend. Was reading your exchange about the rude youth of today. Many years ago I worked as a substance abuse counselor and ran groups in the schools. Needless to say most of the kids I encountered were definately troubled and lacked social skills (unfortunately for many they lacked much in the home front)

I now work a lot with youth leadship programs and am encouraged about how many "good kids" there are out there. Most are politically astute, conservative and like Bush. It's very refreshing.

Well, that's good news, I just worry about the effect that Dean is having on our youth. Think what bothered me the most was there are kids his age dying in the desert while he's sitting there ruining everyones lunch....I'm still upset about it! :)

BTW...I used Bounty paper towels for years before I found Viva (made by Kleenex) and I love them!

Thankfully, most of today's kids from their mid twenties and younger seem to have their heads on straight. There is hope!
