73 year old on BAD MANNERS

There is a little bit of Old China in me,  I guess . So I

    listen when an old man speaks :

           " Unfortunately rudeness is becoming an increasing propensity

    in the United States. I know full well that I am 73+ but in my

    mind the people under 30 years of age in this wonderful country

    are the rudest, most impolite, arrogant, inconsiderate Americans I

    have ever known ! Not only are they rude in almost everything

    they do; they do not give a damm ! "

            What went wrong ? With the world becoming more and

    more crowded, are not MANNERS  even more important than

    laws in making everyday life bearable ?

             The 73 old gentleman reported that he called a

    store customer to tell her that he had found $250 of

    her money on the floor. She did not even say THANK YOU !

           I would have thanked him AND kissed his ass !
