Hound, I should clarify that when I speak of our "children and grandchildren" it is really a metaphor for our country as a whole in the future. Don't you agree that we ought to try to leave it in better shape than what was handed to us? I agree that the future generations are going to be well educated and competent but it is my contention that our generation's lack of personal responsibility should not be foisted on them. They will have their own challenges to address without having the added burden of our bad choices.

I guess my view on our generation is not so much that we couldn't make the sacrifices that our parents and grandparents did, it's just that we didn't have to and we are in some ways worse off for the lack of that experience. Not that I want to relive WWII or the Depression. My Mom, who is 79 has assured me we don't want that. I have abundant faith in the American people and believe we can rise to any challenge as long as we maintain our basic American character. That is what bothers me the most about Obama, he does not believe in American exceptionalism while I do in every fiber of my body.

I hope we don't suffer from paralysis by analysis but I fear you may be right. Although at times when I see government's proposed solutions to problems I think back to an attorney that I worked with who liked to say "Don't just do something, stand there!" Sometimes no action is better than bad action. Anyway, enough of my recent rant....sorry to have made you cranky.
