fashion maybe ? sideways hats and baggy pants with their bums hangin' out ? 
Then there was the kid, with his hat on backwards, standing in the blazing sun talking to an old guy. He was wondering why they hadn't invented something to keep the sun out of your eyes.

That gets me too these days but then I remember my parents telling me time and time again to put my coat on, or gloves or scarf or hat...... Now the shoe is on the other foot...

The younger generation hasn't done squat--you're right.................
because they've been saddled with the debt for creating all that stuff in the first place.
.
On a serious note, the numbers are staggering. Pretend your family income is $21,700. Now realize you've spent $38,200 this year--that's $16,500 new debt on the credit card!!
And oh yeah--the new outstanding balance on the credit card is now $142,710--so now you make budget cuts of $38.50 to appease the powers that be. Fiscal Cliff is still coming--they've just delayed for a tougher fall. Buy gold my friends?
Don't believe me? Add 8 "zeros" to each of those numbers--it's an accurate picture of what's happening to our neighbors in the south.
Now for part 2--Let's say you come home from work and your sewer backed-up all the way to the ceiling? A smart person would suck the crap out and clean up--not raise the celings.
Sorry for the rant, LOL. I did love the poster though Colin--and yes, we should respect our older generation. They've done a lot and have have enjoyed the greatest standard of living in the history of mankind as a reward.
Cheers,
Vince.

Ya and I'll bet he checks out the yellow dress!!
Or to put it another way...........
c'mon bob, i told you not to take my picture !!! :nono:
As for the debt issues. I don't know the validity of this information but:
U.S. household consumer debt profile:
Average credit card debt: $15,422
Average mortgage debt: $149,782
Average student loan debt: $34,703
I wish my student load debt was so little.
Anyway, as stated, the building of the interstates and getting to the moon is a good reason way America is so blessed and cursed. Great leaps in technology......and debt! Because of the good times back then, no one wants to give anything up in exchange for a better economic future.
Rock and Roll will never die....the mullets just get a little grayer is all.
