No, don't do that. Come on inside and you can watch Archer with me over a couple of my home brews and my wife will grill us a nice steak while I'm showing you around - pictures of me at Carolina back in the day, me in the 82nd Airborne jumping, me in a lot of different countries with a lot of different women and other friends. Me with all my kids when they were growing up. Me with my different businesses, my different dogs, my horses. Me we Ronald Reagan, Strom Thurmond, Floyd Spence. Me in Sun Valley with Scott Glenn. Me in New York with Glenn Beck. A picture of Steve Spurrier, Georgia Rogers and me on the tee about to tee off. I've got some good stuff to show you about my life and how hard work pays off and allows me now to sit around a frick off all day.

I'm no old prude. I'm still 21 years old in my head and I'm still waking up with frickin' oak every morning ... just ask my young wife. But I also know the differences between generations and I can tell you that yes, older generations usually see things screwed-up about younger generations because it is true ... but it has not been going-on forever. It started in the 20s, with the Suffrage Movement, and as soon as women got the right to vote many of them immediately started voting progressive ... and I get that. But what it has evolved into, every single generation since, is a social entitlement thing ... Teddy Roosevelt started it, Woodrow Wilson perpetuated the shite out of it, FDR turned it into an art form and honestly, we've been screwed every since then ... you can barely tell one lying politician giving it away from the other, they are all the same with the possible exception of Reagan and even he ticked me off at times.

We've ruined each successive generation by trying to give them too much ... by wanting to make things better for them than we had it rather than allowing them to make their own mistakes and make things better for themselves.

I could go on and on. Call me an old timer if you want, I guess I deserve it, but understand this, we all think alike, most of us men I should type - it's just that us older ones have more experience when it comes to thinking than you younger guys do. We all still love the pretty ladies, the money, the guns the cars the football ... it's just us older guys know the proper priority for each item on the list.

And that is where things got screwy in this country. The youngsters these days think they are supposed to immediately have everything the rest of us have worked for our entire lives to have. I see it all the time in my company when interviewing new people. That is the big difference between the way it was then and the way it was now. Everyone feels entitled to something in one way or the other, just on different levels.
