I am with you Jeff, and I do agree: the young and rebellious seem to seek
out ways to be specifically offensive to the older generation, and they seem
to succeed consistently.  In our misspent youth it was sex, drugs and rock n
roll, now it is rap, saggy pants, and so forth, but time marches on.  The
next generation must find new and imaginative ways to be offensive, to smash
their grandparent's idols.  I think I already see the next wave coming, and
I can assure you we will not like it: racisim will come roaring back, with a
vengeance.  I see what appears to be anti-Semitism everywhere these days.
