There was an interesting exchange on an Aussie TV comedy show a year or so ago with an American comedian as guest. She was happily going on about wearing a thong when everyone else meant footwear...

Post #6,416 by Ashton 8/23/01 4:55:40 AM Reply	20 years ago - McBride, a professor at Beloit for 28 years, says he has noticed other differences in modern-day freshmen. He sees them as more health-conscious, * goal-oriented and docile than their predecessors. "Students 20 years ago were much more rebellious and suspicious of authority," he says. Yup. Docility goes with authoritarianism, pretty much.. * bet those goals are: 'wanna retire at 30, after I go through 100 mil or so of VC and get my name on a Big website' (?) A.
Post #6,505 by mmoffitt 8/23/01 2:59:51 PM Reply	Kindred Spirits. I was just going to post a part of the quote you did under the heading, "Ah, the Good old days". "Students 20 years ago were much more rebellious and suspicious of authority." I had a discussion with my 32 year-old business partner about this. He said, it was a good thing students were more complacent today, I say, "If you don't question authority in your early 20s, when are you going to do it? And if you never do, are you going to be happy being a slave?" Sadder, but wiser, Mikem
