The answer is simple: I would know, because I am part of a previous generation.

Then conversely, how can you criticize the current generation (whatever that is (?)) if you're not a part (or don't consider yourself) of it?

An analogy is in order once again, at 44 I remember my 20th High School reunion. All the old jocks were lamenting the 'good old days' when they were playing some sport or other.

To listen to them, you'd think their life was over. That nothing else could come close to the glory days of high school football. Actually, they were just too lazy to get off their butts and accomplish something else.

Now I'm not trying to bait you Mr Donho, all I'm saying is the 'good old days' are always going to 'appear' like that. In the year 2075 I guarantee you someone will be glorifying the life during the ancient year of 2004.

Celebrate 'International Tiki Day' the second Saturday in August - hau'oli la tiki!
