They never were. Looking at a lot of the students I see on a daily basis would give credence to the negativity side of things, but I usually only hear about the ones with ‘issues’, the suspended, expelled. But I also see the ones succeeding at the CC, finishing classes and catching up to graduate with their peers. Bad news hits our “gossip gene’ and the ‘ain’t it awful gene’; both we are warned against in Scripture as sin. The 50′s were the blossoming of great music, but fraught with conformity, racism, commie-hunting. The 60′s gave us the beginnings of the “back to nature” and organic movements, but full of social unrest and violence domestically and abroad–but the civil-rights movement was also able to move forward in spite of it. Then there’s the 30′s and 40′s: the depression, Hitler, world war. Every decade has its good and bad, contributions and detractions (is that a word?). Going forward is our only option, and I personally need to focus on the positive in it all.
