Sort yourselves out.

There was a report on the Beeb the other day about problems with teenagers hanging around on the streets in the evenings and at weekends in some small sleepy market town. When some of these young people were interviewed, they came up with the usual "there's nothing to do" comments. And I wondered what had become of initiative - whatever happened to making your own entertainment? We seem to have got into a mindset these days where we look to - and expect - other people to sort our lives out for us. It's always down to "them" to provide a solution. We're back to Maggie Thatcher's famous "there is no such thing as society" speech again, aren't we (see post dated 17th June).
