I'm sort of enjoying all the handwringing about the "youth of today." I remember twenty years ago, when I graduated from college into a pretty nasty recession, the conventional wisdom among the Baby Boomers ahead of us was that people my age were lazy and incompetent, and thus deserved our collective fate. It's only now that the same thing is happening to their own kids, that the ME FIRST Generation has decided this is a problem worth addressing.
