We seemed to have such high hopes back in the 60s,now we can't even get the dilapidated space shuttle off the ground properly.
For the first time in 30+ years I popped into Trafalgar Square and surrounding parliamentary area.The only protests witnessed were a rather forlorn Sri Lankan and friend sipping tea next to a tent,and some commie who couldn't quite work out if he wanted to save the planet,or fight capitalism.Either way all that was left was the tent and banners,no doubt he'd popped out to McDonalds.
That area used to be full of life and protest,where's it all gone?

I fear today's kids (let's face it; older people have given up the battle due to experience) simply don't care.

I know quite a few twenty somethings - very sweet, very nice, very charming and totally plastic and superficial.

I blame the internet. Nothing is real; not even pain.

Tom and Jerry turn out not to have been cartoon creatures but a wise Orwellian prediction of the future.

Weird JK. I have just posted on another thread about this. We have let these things happen to us.

I repeat what I said in that thread. The UK must be the most stupid population in the World now. We have given away our freedoms.

crafty thing..directing us to a tale about you. But it was a good piece and I admire the writers non judgmental mention of your dramas.

Is it the Y or Z generation ?I can't keep up but I find the current young generation rather sweet, amazingly innocent and despite looking great..incredibly conservative.
