In my hometown, I think the kids are still growin' up in the same way, still fightin' in the same streets, drinkin' beer in the same pubs, talkin' the same language. I can't see it changin'. Today, everybody is scared, scared of growing up, but scared to death of kids, listenin' to them like they have something to say. When I was a teen-ager, if I tried to tell my old man what to do, he'd tell me to shut up or I'd see the backside of his hand. He'd say, 'When you're man enough to take me, then come around.' I'd wear big shoulder pads, a greatcoat and stick my chest out to try to look as old as I could. I'd take my girl friend out to a dance and look every boy straight in the eye and say 'If you touch her, I'll break your bones.' Then I'd take a cigarette out and light it up like a man. I don't see that happening today. Nobody wants to fight, not for his woman, not for his country. They all want the easy way.
International Retirement Destinations for Liberals?
This is not a joke. My parents want to retire abroad but they don't want an area full of conservative expats, as many of the Latin American communities tend to be. Anybody know of good retirement havens that have lots of liberals ("leftists" for you non-Americans)? How is Panama for this?

The EU released its latest drug report today. The report offers statistics on traditional drug consumption across Europe, showing that the Dutch are among the lowest users of marijuana or cannabis, despite their country's well-known tolerance of the drug. Among adults in the Netherlands, 5.4 percent used cannabis, compared with the European average of 6.8 percent. SMOKING POT IS LEGAL IN THE NETHERLANDS, AND YET THE DUTCH HAVE THE LOWEST USE. A lesson for other countries?
