We have not yet begun to shape the world: we are living in the one you created. And it’s killing us.

Perhaps they are special, as in the special olympics.

TLTR what does it say in a nutshell?

They don't think the Boomers had it tough?

Before the Boomers, you could be illiterate and still have a wonderful career. Then, it required being a high school drop out. Then, soon, it required having a high school diploma. Some of the younger Boomers even had to have a free or near free college education to get ahead.

Shit happens.

So go out and get your four or five Phds/MDs/JDs/unpaid fellowships etc. and quit your whining. You CAN have a law practice from Mom's basement.

Favorite excerpt: "We are drowsy with medications that we take to calm the fear that if we are anything less than the best, we will fall through the cracks."

I feel concern and sorrow for people who have been medicated since the age of 3 thanks to CHIP and Medicaid enriching PhRMA. They have no memory of even one clear-headed day, unless a pharmacy error switched their pills, but then they probably went through withdrawal. As a wise teacher explained it to me: the kids haven't changed, but the parents have changed; if the children perform less than perfectly at something, they get an Rx. But, beware of questioning the drug-induced consensus, lest ye be called all the names I've been called on PatNet.

That's another thing, you have so many better drugs than the Boomers. You couldn't even SURVIVE on the drugs the Boomers had to put up with.

Future generations will look at the parents of today with disgust and ridicule for the improper and excessive medication of children. It will be viewed as a form of child abuse.

Maybe if you were special, you'd have learned that "we're" is not spelled "were".

Like, you know, like, spelling is important, like, you know .......

Since I'm not having kids, I didn't create the next generation.

I'll quit telling you what to do, when you do it.

Call it Crazy says

They are the future of our country, watch it go right down the sewer.....

That happened a while ago, as we speak right now, we're barreling down a huge sewer pipe headed to the Ocean

Channeling Maggie...

Being special is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
