I could write a PhD thesis on how life was better in the the 70’s, with Levi’s (the real ones made in USA, not these faux levis made from cheap material overseas and sporting styles that are either grunge or look sleazy) Life was simpler then, even with that recession it was simpler. We have become a narcissistic society with McMansions, BMW’s for 16 year olds, designer jeans, outrageous expectations for starting salaries, who is the top violinist or athlete, on and on and on. What has it gotten us? Greed, societal acrimony, …and the Seven Deadly Sins. What people do to get their kids into an Ivy and elite LAC’s is unbelievable. Schools don’t make the kids, the kids make the schools.

We are in a mess. Meanwhile moms drop off kids at middle school driving $55,000 SUV’s, designer sunglasses and go home to scour the internet for the “best” college counselor for their 8th grader. I am not exaggerating. Its pathetic.

And people wonder why students get neurotic about college applications? Just peruse this website here on CC and see for yourself. Its jumping off the pages…
