I see it every day with the kids and the players. Unbelievable rudeness and attitude. And, it comes from the kids mostly.
“Easley, let me have your hat,” said the voice that couldn’t have been more than 13 or 14 as the Mets third baseman ran off the field after the game.
No please, no thank you. Of course, mom and dad are usually standing beside them yelling the same things.
Hats, bats, jerseys, gloves. They ask for everything. Of course, it is to sell. Why don’t they ask the players to just write a check?

Because that would just be rude.
All you have to do is look at today's TV programs to see what our coulture has become. All these reality shows. Not one of them shows qualities that I could consider redeeming.
Speaking as the Mother of two sons, I can tell you that it is the hardest job I ever had, but the most rewarding. I was fortunate to have my children grow up in the same small town where I was raised and to have Grandparents and cousins here as well. When you have that much family around, bad behaviour and poor manners are quickly corrected.
Scoopcoop – I agree with you about TV – it's awful.
I suppose this is true but haven't people been complaining about the youth since Socrates (according to a "Mad magazine" lighter side of the generation gap strip circa 1970?). But certainly it doesn't hurt and may even help to be nice.
I hate kids.
