Well said Rick.
The truth of the matter these days is that many of this generation have grown up watching TV, playing Xbox video games or generally letting their minds rot.
I believe that many of us grew up with knowledge because it was gained by exposure- if you worked on a farm, pumped gas at the local service garage or helped Dad by holding the flashlight while he was fixing something. At least thats the way I grew up. We played outside and created our own fun. We built forts and go-carts from whatever junk we could scrounge. When we were older it was old lawnmowers and field buggy cars cobbled together from junkyard scraps. We modified our bicycles or built what we could so we could HAVE a bicycle. No sense of entitlement was given.
Kids today don't want things unless they are cool, come in a fancy box or are endorsed by some idiot actor or sports celebrety. God forbid you try and pass off a hand me down or used item.
Little wonder why it is difficult to attract youth...
