This couple getting caught has probably lowered ticket prices a few bucks... no more "side piece" concerts for anyone for a few years.


Plus, if his attorneys are trying to sue for defamation for Chris Martin saying "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," they would need to prove that the couple were not having an affair.

I see the energetic, concerned “young” generations to be mostly focused on infighting and nit-picking and, IMHO, putting most of their attention on issues that won’t contribute to a bettering of education, financial stability, employment, food security, or health care. Perhaps that’s just a version of what the folks of the Greatest Generation said about the Greasers and Hippies.

A lot of us here are grey-haired. Our time to steer America was successful and it became rich, powerful, smart, and a role model for the world.

Now, the responsibility for ethics, intelligence, direction, and then importance of the nation is being passed off to younger generations - and they generally aren't in alignment with the Old Ways. Lots of reasons, including the media not being on board with togetherness. No more "I'd like to teach the world to sing" but instead, more "me" focused. (The media doesn't have a responsibility to make America great)

And so, for now, the bullies rule the playground. 

It brings me back to the mantra "America is the greatest nation on Earth." But all things must pass. I think that's what we're in the midst of now, the demotion and collapse of American greatness. Will there be a resurgence, a phoenix story? Not fueled by Boomers.

Education is a local level issue, and not all teachers are under-compensated. If you are, complain to your local county, town...administrator.
