Larry,

It bothers me that I cannot nominate this as I am out. As for the content - it bothers me too.

Excellent write,

Ben

Larry if you're old fashioned then I am too and I think anyone with kids has similar fears.

Like you I would have hoped things would have improved in this world, they have not and in many ways I think it's gotten worse. I worry for the world our children are inheriting.

So much has changed in my 45 years of existence. I never touched a computer until I was 13 years old and even then it didn't do much. You had to insert a cassette just to play a game. Now look at up all conversing over thousands of miles with the stroke of a finger.

Even that bothers me. I worry that my kids don't go out enough and spend too much time with their faces glued to a screen. I worry more over who is at the other end.

All that you have penned are sentiments and opinions shared by many.

Well said you.

Larry, you have touched on so many things that are wrong in this world. I too am bothered and sad over the state of affairs we live in these days. It's scary to think our children and grandchildren are inheriting all of this mess. Well done-

Just...WOW! This is such a well written and profound piece. I agree. It bothers me, too.
