I hope that my generation ...Thanks Shadowspring!! <br /><br />I hope that my generation (I'm in my mid 20's) does better. I've found there is a deep-rooted distrust/cynicism in people my age. While I think it's somewhat justified because of all the corruption, I hope it never goes so far that we think our efforts to help people will be completely wasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802896743878321184.post-40012059749184139052011-10-04T16:03:00.151-07:002011-10-04T16:03:00.151-07:00The last four paragraphs of above comment are mean...The last four paragraphs of above comment are meant for Ilovemyflora!shadowspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172112981244682382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802896743878321184.post-62353751565028041512011-10-04T16:02:12.111-07:002011-10-04T16:02:12.111-07:00Thanks for the link Sandra!
I am totally suppor...Thanks for the link Sandra! <br /><br />I am totally supportive. I am so proud of these young people, and all of those putting their stories on tumblr "We are the 99%".<br /><br />I especially love your last statement. No, the protesters may not know how to fix the problems, but pointing out the problems is the first step to figuring out how to fix them.<br /><br />I am praying about this diligently. Props go out to my young friend in the Catholic Workers Union, you know who you are. I know your prayers are with mine.<br /><br /><br />My generation has already proven to have nothing unique. The Tea Party is my generation, still playing the same old song that actually meant something novel when Reagan first started singing it. Back then taxes were high, and it made sense to lower them.<br /><br />Now? Taxes are negligible for the 1%, and corporations are getting the equivalent of welfare from the US govt, and using all the profit to indulge the 1% and invest overseas where they can stick it to foreign workers even harder. My generation sucks.<br /><br />My generation made that gawd-awful movie "Sex in the City 2" in Dubia- built by slave labor!!!!!! Yes, a whole effing city built by slave labor and the US makes a movie about wealthy socialites wearing haute couture and lounging around in luxury enjoying the fruit of all that slave labor. Ugh.<br /><br />Nope, we aren't even acknowledging the problems in my generation. They think the problems are same sex relationships and birth control, not slavery and starvation.shadowspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172112981244682382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802896743878321184.post-2130385860014326102011-10-04T14:08:56.046-07:002011-10-04T14:08:56.046-07:00http://thenewinquiry.com/post/10995237203/a-bridge...http://thenewinquiry.com/post/10995237203/a-bridge-to-somewhere<br /><br />glad to know someone of my friends is supportive of Occupy Wall Street. Everyone I know is disparaging the effort as "just like the 60's", and "hippy nutjobs" and "young people who need to grow up"<br /><br />I am so totally behind this amazingly peaceful (as these things go) movement to demonstrate our communal angst with the status quo, as means to have a voice that says "this system isn't working. We hoped but nothing changed." The protesters may not know what it will take to "make it right" but I adore that they are standing up to say "it's wrong"Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04332778549254318293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802896743878321184.post-44228479113452079152011-10-04T10:49:54.767-07:002011-10-04T10:49:54.767-07:00Thanks you, thank you!!

I think we have rebuilt Iraqs infrastructure by now, and we got Osama bin Laden. Since those were our reasons for staying so long, can we come home already?
