As an older member of the “re-gen” (born in 1978, fully fluent in 3 languages, computers, web design, video game playing, a musical instrument, and a public teacher and private business owner, and proudly white and male (I do not take any shame for the criminal misdeeds of my ancestors) I cannot tell you how much bottled up rencor is hidden in the “re-gen” generation.

You, dear sweet naive American public, are dealing with, a generation that knows that you have created a complete economic, politcal, and social collapse of a planet.

In the most general sense possible, your “cultural revolution” of the 1960s has perversely metamorphosed into a massacre of civil liberties, the decimation of earning power, and incompetent piloting of the economic, political and social bulwark organizations of the globe, for example: Congress, the White House, universities, companies… shall I go on?

You still fight amongst yourselves over abstractions like race and gender while our generation has all but abandoned these issues and instead have the courage see things as they are: as a matter of SOCIAL CLASS: upper, middle, lower. Problems of POVERTY must be addressed.

Right now, today, 47 million American citiznes live in abject poverty. Ever been to the 3rd world? Most of you probably have not.

A Baby Boomer demographer would disagree with me and a Gen-X demographer probably would not have the wherewithal to care or would be at Starbuck’s vapidly staring into a laptop looking cool.

My battlecry for my generation is this: use your creativity and connectiviity to solve a massive world problem correctly and efficiently and if you do not want to do that, then sit down, shut up, or get out of the way. If you are not contributing to the solutions then you are nothing but the noise of human drama clogging the digital echo chamber called the Internet.

We are aligned with our grandparents: the so-called greatest generation. We are the people who are going to lift America out of the jaws of death and, as our grandparents made a mark on history by defeating the Nazis in WWII and stopping an evil dead in its tracks, so shall we be the first people in the history of the world to stop the collapse of Empire (and that is what this country is, make no mistake) dead in its tracks and indeed turn it around. That will be our “cultural revolution.”

The name of the game, fellow Gen Y’ers and Millenials is “Save The World”.

Do you want to play? If we win, maybe we will have enough money to actually bury our parents in a cemetary when they die and not have to dig the hole ourselves.
