On The End of the 00s: How To Lose Your Idealism In Under Ten Years, by Natasha Vargas-Cooper

Oh, my god, what insufferable whining. So you spent the first 30-40 years of your life whining about Boomers. Now you're going to spend the NEXT 30-40 whining about the Millenials? God, why snuff our the Boomers and Millenials? I'm not completely nuts over either group, but at least they're doing things - not all of it good, by any mean - and not just whining.

On The End of the 00s: How To Lose Your Idealism In Under Ten Years, by Natasha Vargas-Cooper

Wow, what an ugly and angry article. And one that doesn't really deal with much of anything. Blame an entire generation? You sound just like the Boomers when they complained about their parents and how THEY had ruined the world. Our problems aren't about Baby boomers or velvet jackets or Peter Fonda selling his soul late at night. It's about about people - and employers and legislators - who say one thing and do another. And from my experience, that sort of thing crosses generations. It's about people who look backwards instead of forward. It's about people who are protecting their asses instead of searching out a little vision. Any argument by an "us" that blames a "them" is doomed. It's not as simple as that.
