They came for the dinosaurs, and I did not speak out, because I was not a dinosaur. They came for the giant robots, and I did not speak out, because I was not a giant robot. Then they came for the nerds. And I was screwed.

What is it with kids these days? What with the crime, drugs, promiscuity... it's just out of hand! We used to call it growing up, but now everything has a name. Fat is obese, whore is sexually addicted, someone who occasionally drinks too much all the time is an alcoholic. The fuck? Can't everyone just learn some moderation?

Hell, I remember going to high school. I worked a full time job at night at a restaurant. After work we would drink until I had to go to school. In college I really had a good time but I learned a lot. It wasn't until I graduated college and entered graduate school that I learned the wonders of "having a drink to unwind after work and at the dinner table and again after dinner and then with dessert and then while watching TV and then during the commercial break before the evening news and then during the evening news (markets are down) and then before bed". It's a rather easy existence to maintain; everyone you love learns not to fuck with you cause you work hard and this glass won't fill itself.

So if my generation didn't suffer from alcoholism what should we do about this one? Simple answer: go back to the way things were, when we didn't talk about anything until much too much time had passed to make a difference anyway. THAT was progress. Yeah that was it! Just ignore it until it goes away. Is there an easier solution than that?
