The explanation
I don't think it has anything to do with our current economic crisis or young people's opinions about their future.
I suspect that a generation ago, our parents were saying the same things about our generation though.
In general, it's my opinion that the youth of today have less respect for their elders than we had for our elders, and less of a work ethic also. But our elders most likely said the same thing about us. And their elders probably said it about them.
I've found I get better service when I try to strike up a friendly casual conversation with the person I'm forced to work with over the phone.
When that doesn't seem to work, I resort to asking them their name, recording the date and time of the call, etc. If I'm making the appointment in person (like at an appointment where you schedule the next appt on your way out the door), I always make sure I get written documentation of the appt. The reason? Back in 1997-1998, I had a doctor's secretary insist I didn't have an appt for that date and time, and she insisted that the doctor had left for the day already. Two problems with that claim: I had the written appointment card AND the doctor's car was still in the parking lot.
Which leads me to another point: If the doctor him/herself cared enough, the clerks wouldn't be acting like that!
ooh thanks for the explanation, I had NO CLUE!!!
I offered an explanation
I did not say every smart person has substance abuse problems or mental issues, I merely gave my opinion on how or why this may be so, since you seemed to think such scenarios were impossible.
LMAO! That might also be an explanation! ...nm

I'm another one; I loved OP's explanation of her views sm
You expressed very succinctly what I feel. The world is my church and I don't need "group think" telling me how to live from some old book that was a mythological explanation for natural forces that ancient humans could not understand.
Anyway, you are not alone!
I doubt this explanation....roux is french
Roux in French means to cook equal amounts of butter/flour together to make/thicken sauces.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux
However, medically speaking here's a descript. of what name means/comes from:
The name (Roux-en-Y) comes from the restructuring of the small intestine to form a Y-shaped structure. One arm of the Y carries digestive juices and the other carries food. The two arms come together farther down the intestine where digested food can be absorbed.

Again, the end times. I'm sorry, but what other explanation is there? Steroids in our meat? I don
