Any pastime or fad that is popular among the young will automatically be considered evil by many parents. Can anyone name just one pastime that has not been blamed for "the sorry state of today's youth"? Pop crooners were even blamed in the forties and fifties, and even such a totally innocent fad as the hula hoop was considered lascivious. I don't know why this is; either adults hate seeing young people having fun because they do it better than the adults can, or any source of fun provides a convenient scapegoat for the universally perceived rottenness of the young; but in any case you might as well fight the law of inverse squares as oppose this. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University, Networking ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
