I think this is great. Somehow this generation didn't get the memo that no real person acts like they do on T.V. They take what we show them and say to them, with tongue in cheek, as gospel. It's like we erased from their minds what it means to be truely human.

It wasn't our generation. It was generation X. You know the MTV generation.

No probably not, but this guy needs a name to write is article. But I think he's saying whether or not our generation is part of OWS we should be pissed that we have drawn a bad lot out of all the others, and the lot was pretty much given to us by the older generations. He makes a good point with the "you don't want to be flipping burgers" bit.

I'm not the older generation. I just turned 24. : / Did you read my article? The author is sort of apologizing for the misguidance of the people that were helping us grow up.
