Society is aging, birth rates in most demographics are declining, and the need for productive youth has never been greater if we are going to support an aging population with social security style benefits. Yet society is compounding the problem by tolerating and even encouraging an extended adolescence. <br /><br />This I believe is part of Dean Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066401247207928143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377230810096355163.post-83746802441524199122011-04-02T14:28:22.638-04:002011-04-02T14:28:22.638-04:00Kinda sad.
