There's a whole new generation of kids out there who have no idea who Albert Einstein is.
And it worries me that people who were such huge contributors to mankind can just drift away like that. After all, it's *Einstein*. It's not like I'm talking about PeeWee Herman.
The truly sad part is that it makes the tried-and-trued witticism of "Way to go, Einstein" totally irrelevant. Classic, no frills method to applaud stupidity. Gone.
All this makes me feel old and dated. When my put-downs revolve around what have become obscure figures in history, I feel like a dork.
Yesterday, I was arguing with a kid who wouldn't keep his shoes on. "I've got *one* on," he says. "What are you?" I asked, "the Michael Jackson of shoes? Put both your damn shoes on."
He had no idea what I was talking about.
What's to become of society if we throw our greats to the wayside?
