It's unfortunate to hear about his passing, as most people from our generation and down, myself included, don't seem to have the same values as people
used to.

I made a post about this guy on Action Recon and have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the story. Perhaps its the time of the year, but people
seem to be really touched by this. I know I was and its true, humans are not made like they used to be, our generation is a mere shadow of the ones
before us.
BKT.

Awesome stuff.

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

thats because our parents so far have done an absolutely terrible job of everything. our parents generation is the reason were so fucked. they had the
world handed to them on a silver platter and basically fucked EVERYTHING up in a VERY short period of time
