The lost generation

The lost generation.
The generation  before the baby boomers was a great one.
My parents were hard working people.    My father worked 3 jobs to support
a family of 3 sons. He was a police office, drove a bus, drove a cab, and fixed up homes 
and rented them out. He was always working.  He believed in the work ethic.
Work hard and you shall get ahead he used to tell me. Of course his favorite
saying which sums up everything is "when the going gets tough the tough get going".
Dad you are so right. That is what we need now. A wake up call to everyone.  
Wake up!!   
This work ethic i do not find with todays generation. For example when you
dine in a resteraunt, notice the service. It is poor.  The waiter or waitress
have this following attitude. I am doing you a favor by waiting on you. 
I am not going to give you good service, and while you are dining I will watch TV
and could care less about you, and yes  I expect a good tip.
  And it is true. they never come back to fill your water glass nor offer refills.
They are the laziest bunch of people I have met, and this  pertains for 
about 95 percent of the waiters.
  Furthermore they have no  personality, no smile, no warmth, no charisma.
The younger generation seems to be angry , hostile and aloof.
When your driving you will notice that there is a car tailgating you.
The driver usually is a young person and very angry.
What do you think attributes to this sought of behavior?
Music. If you listen to what these drivers are listening to ,and you can not
help but listening to it  because the music is so loud that their car sounds like it is about to explode you will hear war music. Chant of war. 
 What  is the message of this music. Alot of it is bad. The words are not understandable.
It sounds like a war message. A very angry message. Not a positive one.
Maybe it was the music that helped make the old generation special.
When have you heard lyrics recently like... you must remember this a kiss is just a kiss
a sigh is just a sigh....wow!!  how nice , how romantic,,,
how can you compare these words to words like    who let the dogs out....
and that is the whole song.  
The older generation had a great sense of humor. The comics of that era did not curse.
They used clean comedy.  Very hard to do.  The comics 
did not care what was politically correct.
    The older generation respected their teachers.  You find that now in public
 schools?
No.
The dress was conservative. Men wore ties and the women wore long dresses.
      When I first met my wife going back 17 yrs ago she had on a very conservative outfit.
I knew this woman was special. She did not follow the crowd.
Now women look like prostitutes. They all show their breasts on TV.  on the news.
How about leaving us some imagination. 
I  worked at a hotel in miami beach a month ago. and their was a discoteque next door
were I was working.  Their where young women 18 to 25 entering. They all looked like hookers.
Why?  I think a woman is sexy with a nice black gown and white gloves. So elegant.
  The old generation attended churches and synagogues. They belonged to all kinds of
charitable clubs. They were active in good causes. They cared about their neighborhoods
and the community, they did not have this me attitude. what can I take from the system.
  Statistics show that now memberships of synagogues and churches are falling.
Memberships are dwindling in charitsble organizations like hadasa, etc.
One might contribute this to TV,, now we have HBO, showtime,,sports channels.
not to far back there were only a few channels and after midnite their were no more
channels on the air.
One might contribute this to the advent of the internet.. email.
Heh, whatever happened to writing love letters.
Cell phones,  that took away from the term I miss you. Now we are always in touch.
Is this a good thing? 
  In conclusion I would say that technology has slowly taken away our souls.
Is it my imagination or do people look like zombies now? I believe  as techmology gets more advanced this is what we are going to see more of. Zombies.
