25. I'm about your age, and I feel the same way.

I thought because of our protesting in the '60's and '70's, and the passage of some legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, that we as a society would just become more and more progressive and enlightened and fair...

Gosh, was I naive.

I don't have children, and lots of times I'm glad of it. I sympathize with young people just starting out now. It's lots harder for a 20-something to get a "good" job than it was 30 years ago.
