What is disappointing is the lack of credibility or accurate data online. The youngins believe everything.

This, I guess I'm old school but I'm shocked at how little people seem to be able to do for themselves. The reliance on technology and not on self sufficiency should be a concern for us all. I have tried to instil and teach my kids how to think for themselves and how to take care of themselves. I often say to my wife that if there is a major infrastructure crash, hydro, water or god forbid the internet it's going to be anarchy.
