JD, you've made some very valid points. This world is such a different place now.
This generation wants it now and wants it new. Waste is just the way they live, if it's broke or out dated, throw it away. It's an embarrassment to have something thats been repaired.
In my younger years, "new" was something the rich and snooty had. I took pride in being able to save something from the scrap pile, always working on an old hot rod, dirt bike, or something I was told "you can't fix that".
Technology has come so far, so fast. Where is it taking us? The next generations? Why has it exploded the way it has? Is it a good thing? God didn't like it, Gen 11:6, the tower of Babel...
Hard times... Hasn't the definition of hard times changed? It was the norm a few years ago. People did what they had to do, they were resourceful and willing to help a neighbor in need, and have the favor repaid.
Today they depend on the government to support them. Is that our fault? None of my kids are politicians, so I think not. LOL
You have been truly blessed to have a wife that is willing to stand by you through the hard times. Those are hard to find.
Wonder what this generation thinks about that? So few even bother to get married, and would it matter if they did? Just divorce at the first sign of trouble and move on.
Must be my night to rant, hope I haven't offended anyone.
