I can see it all now (cause I won't remember it later) Deadman_Walken and Hookster 'Reign Supreme'<br><br>Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. <br><br> We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.<br><br>BUT, upon reflection, we would like to point out<br>that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:<br><br><br>The melody out of music,<br>The pride out of appearance,<br>The romance out of love,<br>The commitment out of marriage,<br>The responsibility out of parenthood,<br>The togetherness out of the family,<br>The learning out of education,<br>The service out of patriotism,<br>The religion out of school,<br>The Golden Rule from rulers,<br>The nativity scene out of cities,<br>The civility out of behavior,<br>The refinement out of language,<br>The dedication out of employment,<br>The prudence out of spending, or<br>The ambition out of achievement,<br><br>And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!<br><br><br><br><br>Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner?
