The new generation of (educated kids) could tell you how to build a dumptruck, but they have no idea how to actually do it.
And the not so well educated go to work at some fast food place.
And yea, the "everyone gets a trophy" stuff should be reserved for mentally or otherwise not capable people to make them feel good about themselve's. (which is great in my oppinion)
This thing of thinking we need laws to protect the stupid is about down the same line as every kid gets a trophy and they all win. We are creating a world in which kids do not learn to protect themselves and blame/sue others.
