I was a young "hippie". Smoked pot, rebelled against society..but dang..I grew up in farm country and worked my arse off.

However when guys a few years older then me I grew up with started getting killed in Vietnam.. I said screw that hippy crap.
At 15 I was in Texas on my own and working. I ended up joining the army just befor I turned 18 , and they take all the hippie out of you believe me.

I think that these kids really just dont work.

I learned trades when we were young..hippie or not. How to sand, tape cars for painting. then to prime..and paint. How to roof, lay carpet. Trades..physical hands on WORK. These kids do not like that at all.
We need more kids learning trades and less going to college causing a glut of college educated kids with no jobs, and a bunch of tradesman jobs needing people.

Just my opinion though.
