I am in my late 40s but look with optimism to our youth - they are less into the consumerism, sick of polluting the planet, done with the the bigotry (when I explained gay marriage to my ten year old she said "of course they should get married" and rolled her eyes), and sick of the war-mongering.

I really hope their generation can move quickly to save the planet because lord knows the Reagan generation has done a shitload of damage.
