In an episode of The Simpsons (one of the more recent seasons) there is a part where Abe Simpson (grandpa) says something like "the only mistake our generation made was making your generation," referring to Homer's generation (baby boomers). How true that is.

The US debt clock isn't reversing on your watch either
Watch "century of the self" 4 episodes on youtube to see why you are getting the goods you are getting

Gotta' take exception to that...I have an 80 year old car, American made, with original parts...most of its original paint and interior...built with SAE fine-thread bolts, careful machining, attention to detail...a true example of craftsmanship!
How about features like: roller cam, automatic chassis lubrication, cockpit adjustable suspension, cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls...designed and built 80 years ago...
