America Eats Its Young, Part Whatever

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Today’s youth are growing up in the shadow of three bombs — the nuclear, debt and climate bombs — any one of which could go off and set in motion a radical change in their lives.
Trust the shorter, they say. Meaning we have not/will not read it. (Hell, we won't even link it. If you give a damn, it's at The NYT, in case you hadn't figured that out.) Perhaps the 'Stache condemns the entire developed world, fine by us, we don't limit our hate to America & its institutions.

The party's over for the youth though. Ha ha. No sooner had they been turned to teen-agers, & become a vital economic demographic, thereby validating them as consumers, even if not actual citizens, the whole thing goes go hell. We got in just in time. (And hope to get out at the right moment too.)

    I use screen craps for this. I don't want to give the assholes credit, and a picture is better than a link that people probably won't click on anyways.

    P.S. If my screen craps are to G.G. or other worthies such as Media Matters, I try to remember to include a link. Also.

    That was from The NYT's own shorter from the email they bombard our bunker w/. Easier (lazier) merely to copypasta.

    Don't forget to link to right-wing buggers who will be obsessively checking their hits, so they can get all hissy up in your comments.

    G. G. Allin?

    (Joke, we know who you mean.)
