Paul Sweeney

How can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young? -Paul Sweeney

I'm afraid that the situation is worse even than this rhetorical question implies. My fear is that our society doesn't think that there is any need to teach the young patience. The general opinion, it seems to me, is "Who needs patience?"
