Here's audio of Adam Carolla explaining how we ended up with a generation of people with an entitlement attitude. Lots of cussing, so definitely Not Safe For Work, or around children. But there's so much truth in it I decided to post it anyway.

So, I ve been away and busy preparing for the end of my working years. Now I have TIME !!!!! And, in the process of switching to my new iMAC (killer machine!) I nostalgically have logged back into the Playground, and, what do I immediately see ....? This outstanding dissertation on OWS idiots.
Thanks so much, Lam. Hope all is well with you and my old LP Pals! Hope that now I can return here more often.

Hi, Pvt. Good to see you.
You're ahead of me: 1) My G5 iMac, 5 yrs old, died. I bought my son-in-law's intel iMac, 3 yrs. old, but now its superdrive is ailing. Can't really afford a new iMac anytime soon, so.....DROOOOOL...... 2) I haven't yet listened to Carolla's explanation--everytime I remember to do so, it's on my work PC, and I can't do that easily in private (yet).

Hey Red! Nice to hear from you. G5 did everything I need it to do, BUT, I get nervous when development and support starts to dry up for the OS ....so, I popped for the iMac. The G5 has worked flawlessly for almost 9 years. I rarely shut it down, too. I've been busy restoring and modifying my 51 Chevy panel truck ... the body work almost killed me! A LOT of sheet metal! Yes, that's a big block 455 Buick Stage 1 motor in there...! I've got about 150 miles on it now since August.
