RANT AND PANT:

I am dismayed after reading a review of Generation X Goes to College it's not so much the Gen X bashing - Gen X already showed the world that they were perfectly capable of becoming idealistic sell-outs in the DotCom boom - but the second customer review was so damn cynical about what he deemed "Gen Y." I am so pissed off with old intellectuals who stubbornly persist on dredging up this pathetic nostalgic drivel about the "greatest generation" and how bad people my age are - how spoilled and unappreciative we are of their benevolent kindness to us, and this pristine world of technological wonder they have handed us. That is just baloney, the world was not a better place, it just seems like that when you remember it fifty years later - and personally the world we are being handed is crap, filled with toxic and nuclear waste, and I'm not so sure any American generation should brag about being spoilled.
