"Because of SUVs, cell phones, iPods, computers, 500 TV channels, and Paris Hilton, the teen-agers of today are far better off than the teens of the 60s.”Are you kidding me? Let's look at this and compare......THEM - SUV'sUS - 1965 Mustang ConvertiblesTHEM - cell phonesUS - Walkie-Talkies (how cool was it to have a pair?)THEM - iPodsUS - a pocket transistor AM radio with an earplug to listen to the BEST music ever and it sounded GREAT! Made us what we are today.THEM - computersUS - books (dictionary, encyclopedias, the library...we actually LOOKED THINGS UP to learn things)THEM - 500 TV channels (and still nothing on)US - 3, sometimes 4 channels and we couldn't make up our mind what to watch. We had NO remotes and turned the channel MANUALLY! I miss that.THEM - Paris Hilton (they can have her)US - Ginger, Mary Ann, Betty, Veronica......THEM - hackeysackUS - sandlot baseball, sandlot football, frisbeeTHEM - tv video gamesUS - sandlot baseball, sandlot football, frisbee....and going outside PLAYING WITH FRIENDSTHEM - American IdolUS - Ted Mack's Amateur HourTHEM - rapUS - ROCK AND ROLL!!THEM - MTVUS - (ahem) LLOYD THAXTON, Jimmy O'Neill, Ed SullivanWe win.
