Follow the Y. Why not?

Somewhere on this site I wrote about Lillian Mongeau, one of the community writers in The Oregonian. If I remember correctly, -Here is the original post- she said, in essence, "Our generation does it better." That would be Generation Y, or, as I have come to know them, The Millenials. What a title. Sounds like superheroes.

Don't think I'm mocking them. Looking at the average schmo over 38, I usually see a moldy person, bent and stooped, staggering under the obligations piled on since early adulthood. It could be argued that, in her article, Lillian wrote a check her generation cannot cash, but I say they have a good chance of ending the rituals and foolishness older generations suffer under. One thing I would challenge The Millenials to accomplish is the end of materialism in America. That's a tall order, but what is there to lose? Besides, accomplishing the impossible is the stock and trade of superheroes, is it not?

I watch and wait.
