This guy here has a little op ed about how the young people need to get off their butts and do something about all these problems, because they are so screwed.
Indeed, if and when America craps out completely, it will be because of the suffocating political apathy of our current crop of young people.
Let’s call them what they are - Generation Screwed. Here, in an effort to light a fire under their asses, is an open letter to a bunch of people who don’t have a clue that the other shoe is about to drop:
Dear Generation Screwed,
Where are you?
And then he goes on to belabor how incredibly screwed they are, and when are they going to get off their asses and do something about it, anyway…..losers.
You got that? If and when America craps out, it will be because young people did not rise up with sufficient efficiency to protest and demand solutions to all the problems made by rich old boomers. Oh, and by the way, you’re so screwed. How motivating.
You know, I was born in the mid-60s, and I don’t feel like I belong to any generation. I’m in the no-man’s land between boomers and Xers, and I’ve met plenty decent people of all ages. Having said that, I just don’t think it’s fair to expect the younger generation to fix all the problems made by greedy boomers. Pony up the money, people, and the power, both of which your generation has ruthlessly amassed, and take some responsibility for the mess your generation made of the world.
Talk about kicking the can down the road. Geez.
