I thought it was every generations wish that the kids would try to achieve everything they could. I think my parents would be proud and happy with my progress and I in turn am glad my children have better jobs, more education and are happy with their lives.

Unfortunately, these are the people filling journalism jobs around here. They, for the most part, were born here, went to high school here, attend MSSU and then go to work here. They don't have a clue about the world and how it relates to people.
