I loved looking at youtube this morning...checking out the interviews from the rally.
All the young people, where do they come from?
From hippie parents, woodstock loving parents who let materialism and their own self-importance carry them away from an ideological base that would have/could have changed the world! These older generation types turned into a self-righteous generation that speaks of having "made it on their own" all the while having had social security and medicare pay for their own parents' care ...those same parents who put them through colleges at a new rate unheard of before. They dsreguard the student loans, va loans, free education, park systems they vacationed in...man, need I go on?
We messed up. Our kids have a chance to fix it. But we sure didn't provide much leadership in the stand up and do what is right department much past 30 years of age. We witnessed civil rights, we benefited from medicare and social security as we left our parents to the "political machinery" and took care of ourselves. Do our children have the moxie to do it right? Or is 30 the new age to forget others? Or have we been doing it a lot longer than we think?
