Lets face it. No matter when you were born life is better now. Kids could not afford college then and can't now but more are going now. Houses tend to cycle on the affordability curve. It was low a few years ago and high now. Wait a few years, it changes. I have friends who are in their 40's who say shit like this. Don't they remember our parents said the same shit? and the parents before them etc?

On a real scale, houses are bigger, communication is better and overall the US is cleaner. Not sure of everywhere but we have more wild life and cleaner environment then when I was a kid. Certainly less crime. Most importantly, people have opportunity that is unrivaled ever. So what there is to bitch about???

My rant is over.
