This recent article by Mark Steyn,
War on the Productive , makes a good point that I think many of us intuitively already knew. I am concerned that many of the youth have spent so much time with their iPods, computers, computer games, and pampering by their indulgent parents that they have forgotten how to actually do anything meaningful and productive. As such, many simply expect someone else to do the heavy lifting while at the same time being free to indulge in the latest hedonistic trend.
Yes there is a war on. Not between the haves v the have nots, but more of the productive v the unproductive. The productive always win in the end, as being loud, lazy and obnoxious is not a skill that builds anything.
Work hard and become a leader;
be lazy and become a slave.
Proverbs 12:24.
Sadly, we are becoming a nation of slaves.
