If anything, a lot of them are even more cynical. Shows like the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, Southpark, Family Guy, and Futurama are practically half hour shows of complete undistilled digs on ‘the man’ and the 1 percent. unlike the good old folks though, the evil young have healthier bodies and are forced by school and college to be less sedentary. We also somehow seem to think that though the world stinks, in our personal lives we’ll have a mansion, a cute lover, and a hundred puppies. Ok, so maybe the evil young aren’t more cynical, but Im not sure that they’re any less.

It’s all good – for somebody. Look at all the poor little rich kids of War profiteers who will get additional gifts this Christmas that they’ll never use because they don’t have time to use them all. Look at all the vendors who will get to spend less on their products because of the cheaper child labor force Thailand has to offer. Think about how much cheaper it is for everyone to vacation overseas because the dollar is dropping faster than one of Galileo’s gravity tests. It’s all good – for somebody. Sorry about that. Gee, the inside of my cheek is hurting from pressing my tongue against it too hard.
