That was a big motivator for us boomers when young to vote and work for candidates like McGovern. Maybe the young people need to feel the hand of the state upon their backs a lot harder. Right now it's just a bit too invisible.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.  Boomers, despite the rhetoric, were always about saving their own asses.  Couldn't really be bothered to worry about anyone else.

Obviously, you need a class on irony.  

One thing Xers get is irony.  Check out some of the charity work that goes on and you will see a surprising number of Xers.

Most of the Xers I know, and its actually many, neither participate in charitable work, charitable giving nor the paying of taxes (if they can wiggle out of it).
Yours is not a charitable generation, and mine isn't either.  You know who gives and serves?  The poor.  It's sad, but those most nearly in wont themselves are typically the first to step up to help others.
