In essence, yes, but the gist of the post is more of an existential dilemma. We have an entire generation of youngsters who don't believe they have a future. And hate everything 'old'.

Well I better get some botox then...but I do not agree. We have a generation of people whose parents failed to give them many non tangible things. And as elders esp Boomers we have a responsibility to find ways to love them and not from afar. Up close and personal. To create community. with them.. An example? The two in the car who smashed from the rear into a guy on a bike and left him there to die. All done while laughing. What we have on one hand are psychotic sociopaths who should be given the death penalty. Extreme? Yes. Did they not do something cold-hearted and extreme? There's number one lesson for anyone contemplating the same. You reap as you sow. Maybe simple bible study, eh? Maybe the Golden Rule? Maybe teaching ethics in schools again? Instead of extreme takes on gender?
