Bullshit. This is the greatest, most active, educated, enlightened and otherwise engaged generation in decades, perhaps centuries. What, do you think it's 40 and 50 year old's whom have brought about 15 medical marijuana states, condemnation of torture abroad, and multi-cultural etiquette? Please.
It's the passive-aggressive, under-educated, awful-parenting self-esteem cult of the failed 70's that has us in this predicament in the first god damn place.
As well, the police state of today is only increasing due to the advent of technology protruding at rapid pace. Put the technology of today in the hands of law enforcement and government with the youth of the 70's through the 90's and they'd be getting away with ten times what they get away with today.
As a young person, I'm not much for generational solidarity. But enough is enough. This generation is, dare I say cautiously, a bit inspiring on the civil liberties front. It's the completely nonsensical passive stupidity of the parental generation and older that holds this nation in a grip of totalitarianism.
if you told my kids i was nonsensical or passive they would laugh their asses off. just so you know every kid thinks parents are stupid. many people have raged against this machine for many generations, without them it would be much worse. if your generation could get enough of you together at one time you could get some changes made. unfortunately that is much easier said than done.
back in the day under cover cops infiltrated radical groups to take them down. now they just monitor what is said on the web. just because 1 million people think something does not mean 500 or so don't need to get their asses in the street and do something about it. no action no progress.
been that way in this country for too long
