We've become a generation of "it's all about me".
This starts now in grade school. I remember trying out for the basketball team, and sweating bullets waiting to see if I've made it. These days, all you need to do is try out. You'll make it no matter how much you suck at it. Why bother trying? You'll succeed no matter much you suck. I remember a day when cheerleaders were the most beautiful chicks in school. I attended a high school football game last year and was stunned to see fat fucking cheerleaders.
It's also reflected in our driving. I drove one thousand miles this past weekend, and it's amazing how many cars sit in the fast lane and make you go around them when there isn't any other traffic around. At one point I almost cried - An 18 wheeler had broken down on the side of the road, and as is customary an 18 wheeler passing it moved over into the fast lane to ensure the broken down truck wasn't hit, etc. The car behind him the 18 wheeler that moved into the fast lane was so fucking stupid that he dropped down into the slow lane and passed this truck - completely blind to the broken down 18 wheeler. It was stunning.
