Later as time went by, people of my generation had the same opinion of the current crop of Deputies.
What goes around comes around.
Every generation looks at the current generation and utters such things as "I had to walk 5 miles to school, in the snow"
"I had to "work" to pay for my first car"
And the list goes on and on. We were a bunch of 30 something's at one time and guess what?? The current batch of 30 something's will be uttering the same thing in 20 years

Absolutely right. Ya kinda gotta hear your folks telling us the same thing back then, but what did they know?
