Actually that just shows that your generation isn't ready to start driving the bus yet if you actually think that only one generation drives at a time. Welcome to the next 20 years when we get to be your elder statesmen!

Well you will then excuse me if I indeed enjoy the standard of living that I have worked for and the Social Security that I have paid for ever since the age of 11 (and will continue to work for the next 20 years).

That's okay. If there is one thing that we've learned from you it is that nursing homes and sedatives do wonders for dealing with the previous generation's elder statesmen.

Hey we're all destined for nursing homes and sedatives eventually.

You just better hope that the generation which comes after you doesn't decide to set you all out on an ice flow for screwing up what we used to have!
