26. quite the contrary ..i am upset that they don't enjoy what they have and
appreciate what they have today..and are so willing to give it all way..without a moments thought..or care.

Perhaps because it has come so easy to them , or they have no idea what it would be like without all that has been fought for, to give them the freedoms they enjoy today.

The accomplishments they can achieve will know no bounds..but only if they work hard enough to keep the gift they have been blessed with.

I do not say this easily..i have worked in a tube in the air with many Young'uns ..and it is not often a pleasant experience, for many reasons..but mostly lack of respect, in more ways than i choose to go into.

I love young people ..i raised one and always had a house full of them..and took so many into my home that were young flight crew, with no where to go....but found a home in my home at all times.

but the arrogance and disrespect i see from the young here supporting Obama and the ones i saw on the ground in Iowa and South Carolina..defies any thing i have seen before.

oh and i housed the Kerry Field rep a young man for three counties in my state for 7 months in 2004..and several of the staff Kerry sent to my area ..also found a bed in my home and i spent over $200.00 a day feeding the young staff in 2004 for over a month.. when we ran the largest campaign headquarters on my side of a very large state.

I worked daily with those kids..and they were like my own kids..and they still call me ..ma..
