This comes up every couple of months. The Hobby maybe shrinking But I dont feel it is dying. There will always be hobbies no mater what the time or century is. If you really want to know what is Killing the hobby and all hobbies for that mater look at your selves and the genral populas.  Alot has to do with the way kids have been raised. Kids from the baby boomer generation or kids 30 and younger are spoiled. They have never had to work Hard for anything. Parents from the world wars didnt want to raise there kids the way they were raised. They provided what they could when they could and brought up there kids the best they could. Now that being said the kids from the spoiled generation are bringing their kids up in an instant gratification culture! If we cant have it done and now then why bother!?!?! They dont know how to work hard for what they have, most everything has been handed to them when they screamed for it. I am 25 Just turned the quater century mark last sat. the 18th. I for one am Discusted with the way the US has become. There is no loyality in employees or employers. Case and Point Employees want to make all the money in the world and want it now! If they have to work to hard for the raise they quit when the going get tough because they may break a nail. On the flip side an Employer who feels that you dont do enough for the company will terminate you even if you are working 12-16 hours a day and dont take any breaks. this is because you dont bring enough $$$ in or produce enough product so they can Pad their pockets. The cost of living has become so outragious that no one has a disspossiable income any more. An that could be why their is a down turn in the hobby these days as well. Any way I am going to get off my box now. Every time this question comes up it irks me. So in closeing I have a question to pose for ALL OF YOU, Why do we always look at the negitive in life, What Happened to the Possitive? Lets stop complaining about the death and enjoy what we have.
