See, now this is why I like people in their 20s these days better than some other younger people. The whining and blaming moves over for DOING SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE. It's just sad people who blame boomers for the troubles of today sit around mealy-mouthing why they don't do anything. WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! If somebody got run over by a car in front of you would probably just step over them. I can work with people no matter how old or young or smart or stupid they are without whining and mewling about it. Does NVC think she is too precious to mingle with the commoners? Dpock comes from a privileged background. I can tell you most militants or anybody else in the 50s-70s did not have what Dpock did. I am a boomer and nobody gave me anything! I had to work my way through college. My dad told me there were cheaper ways to find a husband! My parents were not supportive of anything I did. What first home? What bailouts is this guy talking about? I know not and neither do most of my contemporaries. And it was not just about the f-ing war! There were several HUGE civil rights issues. Then there were the local issues that we really could do something about besides run our mouths. That varied from 1 community to another but many of the share-based activities that occur now occured in the 60s and 70s, like swap meets, community kitchens and gardens, free medical and legal help. Oh snap! They aren't doing medical and legal anymore, huh? We got ideas from communism and the 1930s Depression. The article was good as expository writing but would have been better if it were not so full of self-pity and rationalized selfish, navel-picking behavior.
