Let me tell you about an incident I experienced recently that got me thinking about the entitlement mentality of Americans today. I was in a convenience store, waiting in line. Ahead of me, at the counter, was a young couple, who may or may not have been married. They were trying to purchase some “junk food” items — a case of soda, a large bag of chips, a frozen pizza and a few candy bars. My guess is that they were about 20 years old or so, maybe a little older, and both were seriously overweight and covered in tattoos. Please don’t tell me I’m judging them because of their obesity and tattoos — I’m just describing their appearance, which is indicative of their lifestyle.
