We have a society whose current version of ethics is 'I am the center of the Universe." In such a world, gratefulness really isn't a virtue. But complaining to get more or to whine when you didn't receive what you wanted are virtues, especially when done in front of a TV...

Anyone watching CNN? They're interviewing a 16 year old kid who just got back. What was he doing over there by himself? Anyone know the story?

Unfortunately we have a surplus of cameras to give them such a platform.

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
Those words would fall on too many deaf ears today.
