"when 60's types have to illuminate to the 19 year olds that they need to become socially conscious. Young people should be lining the streets to be protesting this war and the Industrial Military Complex. Lethargic, fat, and disinterested young people going to seed. Nauseating at many levels..."
And who raised them to be that way? Oh yeah, those very 60's types who piss and whine about it today. Or more likely, their TV sets or nannies, since they were two busy finding themselves, reading each others auras, or maximizing their potentials at their transcendental yoga classes to be bothered with actually raising their children and teaching them any values whatsoever.
You reap what you sow, dude.
