Heard around the house: Economics

When you think of the things that 17 year old young men talk about, what comes to mind?
Eric, Tyson's cerebral friend came over last night and hung out for a while.
These are two guys that really know how to get into a discussion.
I happened to catch part of it.
Tyson said "Social Security is a tax that relies on an ever increasing population for it to remain viable."
Eric said "Yeah, and Japan is having troubles right now because of their shrinking population"
...
more of the same. :)

I usually tune out pretty quickly but it cracks me up. If it's not economics, it's physics, cosmology, math or you name it. Yeah, occasionally it's XBOX. I suppose it's sort of refreshing given what most boys at this age talk about like sports, girls and gross stuff. Instead of sounding like Sports Illustrated or ESPN, they sound like the Mcglaughlin Report or CSPAN.

It's pretty cool.
