Reply #15: Sadly It Seems So

[KharmaTrain]

We're in an age set up by nearly 20 years of corporate expansion and "deregulation"...each step of the way removing itself one level from accountability and humanity. Also the threshold of that pain goes from "nagging" to "tolerable" and it gets ignored by the next shock to the system.

One mantra of this past generation has been self indulgence and lack of personal responsibility. It's so pervasive to deny, blame or avoid that it's a virtue when someone does it blatantly. I almost feel like my parents...who were depression kids and always screamed that my generation had it "too easy"...and to say the same thing about a lot of the 20-30 year olds who populate dittohead-dom or are just tuned out except for Scott Peterson or Survivor.
