33. Thanks for the facile response

And writing it all in caps made it ever so much more compelling. Real intellectual stuff there.

I wish you people could see how over the top ridiculous your hand-wringing "oh noes, this is the worst time ever to have existed!! and it will never get better!!" sounds. I wonder how you ever would have made it through the Depression, or World War II, or a famine in a country with a crazy dictator, or in Prague when the Russian tanks rolled in to take over your country's government. My grandparents on both sides had to escape Europe with only the clothes on their backs: and they were the lucky ones. You have to contend with 8.6% unemployment. Nobody is saying that's good, but you'd think we were living in Biafra in the late 60s, when a million people died from war and famine.
