Hey, that is the trend today on many topics.

Kids cannot graduate from HS because:

They can't read, can't spell, cannot compute simple math ....

The quality of today's work performance (mistakes) has degraded in many 
fields ....
(the news media provides great disservice to public)

etc, etc, etc.
Make you wonder: Are our teachers been "properly educated" too??

we old timers know better, yet we are pushed over by the "younger" 
grownups who think THEY know better.

There are good hams out here like w8fax showing proof of opposite is 
true regarding youth on CW.
Nice work.

Let's enjoy CW while we can ....
