The only thing that I can think of to write about is how the problems in society today are being caused by the fact that there are two generations competing for power right now. It is a bit like those adorable senior citizens living right next to a playground. "Hey, get off my lawn! Damn kids!" In this case, the lovable grouches are our parents' generation, the kids are us, and the lawn is the entire government. If only the older generation could realize that they've all become the old couple in the neighborhood who are always complaining about the kids of the day, they would realize that it is time to let go, hire a couple of teenagers to mow their lawns, and learn the art of doting on the youth.

Woooo-hooooo.
So, apparently I managed to completely mess up my reading schedule. After finding that I have the abridged version of the de Tocqueville (Democracy in America), and since I'm too cheap to go out and get the full version, I got the .pdf off of Google Scholar (I now absolutely love Google!). I'm enjoying this so far, and, in between squinting while trying to read the 8pt font that was used to type up the .pdf, I've found that I just really need to read everyone else's blags before class and I'll understand the scrunched up writing much more nicely. Also, less paper cuts is always a plus. We'll have a full post tomorrow, just thought I ought to get that off of my chest now.
