I think aceticism in the States has near-vanished ... EVERYone feels entitled to something now-a-days ... millionaire retirees feel "entitled" to their SSI checks, and still use Medicaid for foot massages and twice-weekly chiropractic tune-ups, 20-year-old college grads with no definable work experience (but a 400-dollar-a-month car payment thanks to moms and pops) feel "entitled" to demand starting salaries in the mid 80's, and technically-gifted practice-room phenoms feel "entitled" to a music gig. Interestingly, two of these three examples seem to get their "entitlements" from our soft Yankee society.
I wonder why?
