Think before you post
You may want to use WORD to write and edit your comment. If you do so, you will have a chance to re-read your comment before you copy and paste it to the blog. This will give you the opportunity to think again about what you have just written before you actually post it. I also suggest you preview your comment before you publish it. Think before you post. Remember: you are responsible for what you post. (Incidentally, don't forget to check the Blog Archive on this page for postings published in the past. They may be worth your effort)

During one "generation gap" quarrel with his parents, young Michael cried, "I want excitement, adventure, money, and beautiful women. I'll never find it here at home, so I'm leaving. Don't try and stop me!" With that, he headed toward the door. His father rose and followed close behind. "Didn't you hear what I said? I don't want you to try and stop me." "Who's trying to stop you?" replied his father. "If you wait a minute, I'll go with you." Source
Generation Gap story
A very self-important young man recently took it upon himself toexplain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossiblefor the older generation to understand his generation. "You grew up in a different world, in many ways a primitive one," hesaid, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "We young people of todaygrew up with television, jet planes, space travel, and manwalking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogencars, computers with light-speed processing ....and," he pausedmomentarily .... The old man took advantage of the break in the youngster's litany andsaid, "You're so right, son. We didn't have those things when we wereyoung...... so we invented them. Now, what are you doing for the nextgeneration?" A story that makes you go hmmmm. Stephen
