I suspect once the baby boomers are gone things will slowly start to improve. They are generally the ones who both invented and keep alive such atrocities as the drug war, our un-winnable foreign wars in too many countries to keep track of, and countless other insanities they either perpetrated themselves or took to a new level. Seriously, how can you expect socialism when both ruling parties are only interested in war, war, war, of all kinds and have absolutely no interest in education or their children's future (environment, opportunities, health care, etc.). Look what it took just to get a healthcare bill that says you have a right to buy health insurance passed. Before that, fuck off and die you sick bastard was the policy for sick, poor people, many of them young. Or education, which is now mostly unreachable except for the truly rich. The governing consensus (of most boomers who rule congress) is that we should be making money off of our young people instead of helping them get educated. I wonder why they're doing worse than other generations economically when they're being exploited by their parents generation without a hint of compassion. Student loans cannot even be gotten rid of if you declare bankruptcy.

This thought is both extremely sad and extremely hopeful. It's sad because there are a lot of boomers who I love dearly in my life as with probably most everyone here. It's hopeful because a lot of young people, including myself, are fucking sick and tired of being exploited by the old for their literally insane pursuits (mostly war and hate). In this sense, death is a welcome factor. I'm certain I'm not part of the first generation to think this about their elders nor am I part of the rest. The old, outdated, stupid, insane, cruel, hateful, hurtful ideas have to go and unfortunately the only thing that ever helps in such situations is death. Death is truly, the bringer of change, and in the current status quo, hopeful change.
