NO, WE DO NOT!!!!!! AND JUST WHO THE HECK ARE YOU TO ASK?!?!?!? HUH?!?!?

You young upstarts have it sooo easy today. Why, when I was a young boy, we only had ONE, yes one, McDonald's in town. And it only had ONE window at the drive up. And they didn't take any credit cards, oh no sir! Cash only. And they only had TWO sizes of fries.

And we didn't have this internet thing. We had to talk to other people FACE TO FACE, or on the telephone. None of this Forums or Chat Rooms. And we didn't have all this porn on demand. All we had was a Sears and Robuck catelog and our imagination! We had to think, son!

And phones had round dials, back in the day. None of this Space Age push-button thing. Boy, our fingers were strong back then! And when you dialed long distance, it really ment something. I think it cost my dad a month's wages just to call Baton Rouge. For five minutes.

We saw Velcro as a wonder - a sign that the New Frontier had arrived. We watched rocket launches - live - on all THREE TV channels we could get. When I was a boy, we thought the greatest cultural phenomenon that would change the age was.......... pet rocks. When I was 12, a digital calculator cost more than Doug's Ritter's car.

So cut us old-timers some slack, will 'ya? If I want to get cranky, I got reason. You will understand once you realize what your future holds - that you will be taken care of by the folowing generation, who will see you as merely rude and cranky in old age.
