Documenting A New Lease On (Your) Life

"That the baby boomers are now all too old ever again to be trusted with the nation's affairs is entirely our fault. It was we who created the cult of youth. In the Sixties, we thought that under our tutelage the world was going to get better. But we created a far worse world, a harsher world where our children have to be coldly, miserably realistic in a way that we did not, a world in which the self-indulgences that we took as of right are unavailable to them."

-- Francis Beckett, kicking his own generation - The Boomers - for acting like a bunch of big babies, as one should, when they're criticizing under the name New Statesman.
