Sure enough, couple weeks later some study came out where kids say that cheating is just OK, because everyone else is doing it and because it's what they need to succeed.

ugh. I hate "ethics of the moment". Without personal integrity you have nothing. Damn I hate the gen i ers. or whatever they are called now.

And I could have reversed it:

"I will say though that I've never met a young "liberal" who didn't use Bush-conservative-republican bashing as a way of escapism from his own self-esteem issues."


Accurate? Maybe but given my experience of getting through my 20's I think it has less to do with party affiliation and more to do with youth. Young people are generally insecure and easily influenced by an extreme..right or left. Considering left is the more anti-authority, anti-establishment, rebellious ideology, young people often flock to it.


Either way, it doesnt help.

Sometimes I think it is even easier than that. To some young adults being a 'democrat' and 'liberal' is merely a trend at best.

Seems like the people who are like this wear blazers with tight jeans and chuck taylor shoes. Topped off with black dark rimmed glasses, while carrying their starbuck's coffee.

It reminds me of a low rent Jude Law.
