Seeing the education bubble and the rulings of family court judges ordering private schools and full college educations, I worry. The writers, enforcers, and interpreters of laws haven't seemed to have much respect for the concept of law lately. I do hope its an observation bias, exceptions standing out, but interaction with the system lowers faith in the system.
I was raised with the notion 18 = adult, maybe we will toss you a rifle and send you somewhere (sorry bout that 21 drinking age thing). The attitudes of an entitled youth that never go away seems more the norm and the polls reflect it and society seems more and more accommodating. 30 isn't too young to be a proper curmudgeon right?
