The Lost Generation

I remember, barely 5 years ago, during the doldrums of Clinton, when all people could complain about was a President with a roving eye and moderate politics, the Youth of America needed to find a cause to complain about. They chose globalization as the bad-boy bugaboo - for reasons that were not adequately explained to me at the time. Oh, how they huffed and puffed, they demonstrated and wept, they toked and popped as one.

Where are these weenies now? The current conflict is our generation's Vietnam! If they wanted a fight, why aren't they taking to the streets. It's not like I want a redux of the 60s - what I know of the era, the music was the only thing decent to survive - but I am calling for ideological consistency and accountability.
