Duh...Isn't It Obvious

In Red, Blue, & Purple America, the editor Ruy Teixeira conglomerates a variety of articles on generational thinking including "Aging of Boomers and Rise of Millennials" by Scott Keeter. In the article, Keeter discusses the quintessential qualities of most Millennials as: coming from non-traditional homes, being exposed to electronic innovation (exposure to internet, networking sites, etc), possessing looser views on marriage and sex, and being unaffiliated with one religion. But do we, the Millennials, really need an article, much less a book, to tell us this? Isn't it quite obvious that we have become very "demoralized" compared to our decrepit parents and elders? And who gives Keeter the right to document our lives and judge us based on how we choose to spend our time and resources? I personally have the right to live my life the way I want and do what I want when I want. He can't blame the demise of civilization on me!

But wait...if all Millennials were to possess my attitude, how would we coexist? Is his critique really a warning for our future? Uhoh...we might be pretty messed up...
