I believe that to contrary belief..time goes on and this is my take on it.

I think that the world will get better. Eventually.....

A notable demographic shift will occur in 2010 as the youngest of the baby boomers (b.1945) will hit the united states legal retirement age of 65. This will continue on for some more time, until all the baby boomers have hit retirement age.

As the boomers retire Generation X will take rolls in middle and upper management.

As Generation X moves up to middle and upper management, Generation Y will take up positions in the lower half of the workforce.

Generation X will then age and hit retirement age and Generation Y will take upper management.

I think that when Generation Y is in the phase of life to take upper level management positions..(ecspecially in government positions) Will be the time that things start changing positively in the US.

Wow...that shit was deep. Now anyways owl, on a lighter note, my son's 5. I can't even imagine what he will see and sometimes feel guilty for bringing a kid into a fucked up world.

But the most important part of this is not to worry. Only care what you do and how you are. Enjoy life...and ignore all else. If you need to get away...you know where I'm at
