BTW, I still don't think this country is heading down the tubes.

Au contraire, I do believe the phase of "My life is going down the tubes" is quite popular :D

were you of the opinion that the country was heading down the tubes and disagreed with the government?

I'm wondering if it's just a phase all people go through, like teenage angst and rebellion.

I can only speak for myself as an "old people". I no longer care where anything is heading because I won't be around.

There==I said it. :D

<George Carlin> What tubes? have you ever seen any tubes? I've never seen any fvckin' tubes! </George Carlin>

Truthfully, I guess I can't comment, seeing that I fall into the age group you're asking about (20-somethings; I'm 24)

:music:When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a Valentine,birthday greetings,
bottle of wine?
If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Hmm------mmm---mmmh.
You'll be older, too.Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay
with you.


I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for
a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty
four?


Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wightif it's
not to dear. We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave.


Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting
away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty
four? :music:
