The OWS youth perspective
The OWS Youth Perspective:
"I have grown up in a world where it is politically incorrect and socially unacceptable for anyone to be better, faster, stronger or smarter than anyone else, a world where every kid on every team gets a trophy and nobody get's a bad grade at school. My parents behave like children themselves and borrowed through home equity loans and credit card debt to fund a lifestyle beyond our family's true means to support. They demanded no accounatbility from me and have protected my feelings at all costs. I have been given everything I ever asked for. I never had a summer job. I never saw anyone "save up" for anything. I take technology for granted. I have no understanding of history, morals, or values.
Now that the credit bubble has burst and Mom & Dad can't protect me anymore I am clueless as to how to make my way in the world so I will do what I have always done: I will whine and complain that it's "no fair" until I get what I want."
