Ed - do you have any substantive evidence beyond your own anecdotal musings to back this up? Also, could you folks please stop denigrating young people by calling them "snowflakes"? If I understand correctly, the intent behind that  juvenile and unimaginative insult is to ridicule anyone who might at some point imagine that as a human being their thoughts, emotions and their life have inherent value and worth.  Would you say that's an accurate characterization? Ed, I believe you are capable of better than that.
