You beat me to it....
If this is a sampling of the generation currently in their late teens/20's, then I can see how our country is going down the crapper. Makes perfect sense. Its all about Dave Matthews, John Mayer, the newest Berry Wheat Beer, questioning fucking everything just for the sake of doing it, bitching and moaning about the stupidest shit and wanting NO adversity. Like Kaos said - everyone doesnt make the team, everyone doesnt get a trophy. Sad. Fucking Sad. For those of you who are so glued into indie music, maybe you would like it up in Athens. Just a thought.
Very interesting theory that the country is going down the crapper because of teens and people in their twenties. In 2000, the largest 5-year age group was 35-to-39 year olds with 22.7 million people, representing
8.1 percent of the total population. The second largest 5-year age group was 40-to-44 year olds with 22.4 million people, representing 8.0 percent of the population. Of the 5-year age groups, 50-to-54 year olds experienced the largest percentage growth in population over the past decade, 55 percent. The second
fastest-growing group was the age group 45 to 49, which experienced a 45-percent increase. The median age in 2000 was 35.3. In 2007, it was 36.7.
My point of this long string of information is that the majority of people in the United States are not in their twenties. The teens have no ability to vote (aside from eighteen and nineteen year olds) and are not old enough to hold any office. People in their twenties are not old enough to hold most major offices, and our numbers are such that we could be (and often are) outvoted. If the country is going down the crapper, and if we are going to point out one age group to blame, then I highly doubt it's the twenties and teens; "bitching," "moaning," "questioning fucking everything," and listening to shitty music doesn't take a country down the crapper, and especially not when those you blame aren't even in positions of power to have any influence on the country's actual workings.
