Quote for the Day: Swine Flu Humor

Is My Generation Stupid?

Recently President Obama stated that college kids today weren't as intelligent as those in the past. Granted, I am paraphrasing what he said, but that was the basic point. Is this true? My gut says yes for the most part. It should be said that there are many smart young people who work hard and take life seriously instead of being lazy. However, that category of people is probably an overwhelming minority. Having reached this conclusion based on my own experiences and without any true data or research, I confess that I feel a bit of irony in my own writing. However, I'ved wondered how many people in past generations were seemingly "stupid". That is difficult to know, but it's a safe bet that there were roughly as many idiots back then as there are now. Maybe the idiots of my generation are just more idiotic than the average. So, my generalized and unscientific conclusion is that there are dumb people in every generation, but my generation has people that are dumber than normal. (Rant Over).
