Are we raising a nation of wimps?

Maybe the American Upper Middle class has always been soft, but the day I just spent in the NYC suburbs of Connecticut has me thinking that a certain chunk of our kids are being raised as whiny, entitled brats.

This is in contrast to the high school kids I see on MTV's "Two A Days"- a show about high school football players in Alabama. Those kids are being raised to be mentally tough and physically tough. I really question where I want to raise my kids and what is the "meaty middle" in American society. I want them to be balanced- not complete effite liberal wusses, but not totally filled with a fraudlent W Bush type machismo.

The cover story of the NY Times today has a story about the comeback of corporal punishment in US Schools. That story, combined with the new MTV series, has me wondering if there is a trend afoot. Have we as a society already recognized the problem, and are starting to address it in an organic manner? Flame away....
