You Can Go Your Own Way

Disclaimer first: While I understand the need for shorthand, I rather dislike naming generations and all that implies. That said, when I saw the cover of reason magazine and the headline "Millennials Aren't Listening to You," my first reaction was "thank God!" And it turns out, that's almost the inside subheading. Actually, it's "That's a good thing." Yes, it is, because we "Boomers" have pretty much cocked things up, haven't we? While very little in the article comes as a surprise to anyone who knows a few members of that younger age group, it is heartening to learn that it's not just a few who feel that way. Regarding Washington, for example, most identify as Independents and see the majority of politicians as basically all alike: http://reason.com/archives/2014/08/26/generation-independent
