Why Don't We Complain?

The essay, "Why Don't We Complain", was very amusing. It's about the fact that nowadays people are so lazy that they do not get up and complain about something that may or may not be of a bother. One of the reasons why I really liked this story was because it is very true what William F. Buckley writes about. Back in the days, people would also fix minor problems around the house and such on their own. In the essay, Buckley is saying that in the past couple of years, people have changed tremendously. They, now, call technicians, plumbers, and such to take care of necessities around the house. The examples he uses to help illustrate the idea of the essay consist of times when people are out somewhere and there's a problem with something but they do not want to get up and try to speak with someone about getting rid of whatever the problem may be.
