I was listening to some Big Brains recently, and they said something that both never occured to me yet made perfect sense. They were talking about Economics vs. Social Justice and pointed out that "The 60's" wouldn't have happened if the Economy hadn't been as good as it had been. They pointed out that only those who felt Safe had the Luxury to "Find/Express/etc Themselves". I certainly can relate. My Generation became adults at the end of the 60's. We grew up with our parents worrying about jobs, gas, food,the draft, etc. When we graduated, we weren't looking to "Find Ourselves", we were looking to make sure that we'd have a roof over our heads and food on the table. In a way the kids coming up right now are like us and the self-absorbed Children of the Clinton/Bush yrs like the 60's Generation,unfortunately, Compassion isn't "In" this time....
