Excuse me Shirley, but blaming all of our country's problems (both financial and social) on the youth and foreign powers just doesn't fit right with me. If you look at our congress and most of the officials in our government you'll notice that most are actually from your generation. And economic trends that began in the 70's are actually what caused a domino effect that crippled the economy. So turn your words of disapproval on yourself. Someone with your age should have the wisdom to understand that times do change drastically, but people don't. There have been a slew of screw-ups during your time as a youth on this planet. And im sure that there at one point was someone even older than you ranting on about "the good ol' days". This is how the world is now, accept it. Besides, I think the reason that you're tired is because you are 76 and still clinging to the past for dear life...Just a speculation.
