We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Below the current, the economy has been improving far more than the market reality would indicate.
