Hopefully this is leading up to a brother and sister encounter. I suspect Claire and Clinton dislike each other, and will demonstrate as much in an amusing way.

Unfortunately or is that fortunately? ..... The opposite corollary is true.
The level of stupidity and ignorance in college freshmen has remained rather consistent with the hurdles presented with college applications.
The truth of the matter is that even though you the observer is not able to discern it, but you have changed quite markedly from what you were when you were a freshman.
More knowledgeable, better read and informed, more used to working in smaller groups or alone.
So it is your personal benchmarks that have changed and not the perceived changes in the younger generation.
aka Them thar kids and their newfangled teleophones and newfangled big band misic ... tarnation ....world's going to hell in a hand basket ....

Disagree entirely. I thought this of my fellow freshman as a freshman. And as you get higher in college, each year they get worse and it is most certainly glaringly obvious. Not my own personal benchmarks. And I'm talking respect. Case in point. Student Dining Halls. Each year the freshman act like worse assholes to the people who make their food, etc etc. And a growing number that don't know the words "thank you" and "excuse me". Only thing that changed was my intelligence, not my general human compassion and decency. Which remained top notch throughout.
