Generation We

In eight years, the youngest of this generation will be voting. It is the largest single demographic group in the country, and it will be taking over from the boomers (that means me and most of you who are reading this blog) very soon.

This video nearly brought me to tears. In it I see the faces of my nieces (17, 14, and 3), and my two sons (6 and 3). It hurts me that the fighting our generation has taken on against the previous one and the ones to follow has left them with such a fucked up planet and a screwed up moral code. When their time comes, I'm right there with them.
