Agree and disagree in some aspects. We are the first generation to not make more money than the preceding generation. Granted the baby boomers shattered previous generations, how does that look upon our generation? In what way are we smarter? 40 years from now what will our legacy be? I'll completely agree with you that we see the world in a much more comfortable manner but how can you blame us? The previous generation grew up in vietnam where it was only a matter of time before your name was called to go over and fight on the front lines. If that were going on today I'm quite certain our generation would not look at world with the same type of comfort.
