There's Something Wrong With Kids These Days

      I vaguely remember my childhood days in the 1950s before the teenage rebellion when children were seen and not heard. Thanks to Dr. Spock, a new generation of parents was being told that it was OK to let their youngsters do their own thing. The results were predictable. Before we knew it, our nation was overrun by teenagers eager to expose themselves to every vice and perversion available to them. Here are a few paperbacks glorifying this youth revolution.

I think it started with those beach-blanket movies with all the kids cavorting in their skimpy swimming attire. These teens were on the loose with "marijuana in their pockets, alcohol on their breath and time on their hands".

What other kinds of kids are there?

I succumbed to vileness and twisted desire long before I turned 17.
