Old fashioned is good. We were taught not only how to behave but also all the other things necessary to show proper manners when in public.
Today's generation believe we're stupid for "going out of our way to do such silly and stupid things", I see it every day. They consider it a waste of time and beneath them.
It's just another sign of the fall of what we used to be proud of.
I hate to say this, but it seems to be worse down here than in the upper Midwest. Don't know what's wrong but a lot of the youngsters just don't seem to care and they don't mind telling you so. 4951
