>>LOL!!!! As Greece has found out, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money...
You two sound like MVPs publicly patting each other on the back for promoting Windows Vista. ;-)
Sorry but it's insulting to youngsters to insist that the great conditions we enjoyed are what kids face today. Property and education costs have soared relative to incomes and while once it was possible to work over summer to earn your tuition, you'd need to sell your body to guarantee that today and apparently that's exactly what some female students do. It's simply not the same.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
