No more. The best is in the past. It's all downhill from here. This is patently obvious every day, all day, non-stop in the media: threats to world peace; truly bad politicians; unaffordable housing; soaring prices; constant threats to energy and employment; rapid, often unnecessary change; lack of respect for experience, and youth worship; lack of historical knowledge and contempt for anything not new; loss of Christianity, the basis of Western culture.
The list is long and depressing. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
If "Young people are getting a raw deal", it is because they have no respect for their elders and their experience, and sneer at lessons from history. Well, they are the ones who are going to 'cop it', and they won't get any sympathy from the 'old farts' they haven't listened to.
The "we" that Mr. Schwartz are past it, and future generations will have to live with their own ignorance and arrogance
