Decent article from Roger Ebert about the difference between our youth and the youth of today. He laments the problems in this day and age and compares it to when we were kids, then goes on to say that he doesn’t know what happened or what the solution is.

What happened is liberalism, Mr. Ebert. Every problem we face in America today — illegitimacy, illiteracy, divorce rates, crime rates, poverty rates, social and moral decay, etc. — can be traced right back to 1960s, far-left radical liberalism, the notion that the world owes you a living and that government should take care of you from cradle to grave. The notion that the rich in this country aren’t real people who’ve busted their behinds all their lives to get where they are today, and therefore should have their money and property taken from them and given to the less fortunate. The notion that we can tax our way to prosperity. The notion that there is no such thing as a bad law or a bad regulation. You get the idea. It all started in the 1960s, and until far-left liberalism is finally dead and buried, America’s problems will not go away.

You want to know what the solution is, Mr. Ebert, it’s not more liberalism, it’s less liberalism. But I don’t expect for someone who backed Obama the way he did to actually get that.
