More decline of Western Civ....

According to this report from AP, according to a recent survey taken by The Pew Research Center, "80 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds in this country see getting rich as a top life goal for their generation."

Let's see here, we're facing one of the biggest challenges to Western Civilization since the Nazi's in World War II, and today's kids see their top life goal as a new iPod.

Again, lay the blame at the feet of the parents, who undoubtedly replace time and guidance with material possessions to assuage their guilt at wanting to "have it all" by pursuing careers AND children...

And they say that MTV doesn't encourage a creeping sense of materialism and entitlement...mark my words, you heard it here first....someday, archaeologists will trace the decline of Western civilization back to 8-1-81, the day that MTV was let loose on American culture...
