most of you folks aren't big readers, but this was an easy read.
2030, by albert brooks, the tv personality - kind of a science fiction novel about a coming war between teh old and the young in america. he does a nice job of describing a possible future. some of his stuff - an absolute cure for cancer, and a bunch of other senior health care medical advances - seems highly unlikely. but, it's one of the better articulations of the coming old/young conflict.

yes, what to do about the demographic bulge of the boomers and the coming crisis is entitlements and longevity is a huge real and serious problem - and it deserves serious debate.
so man the fuck up and debate it seriously. you have to offer real solutions not pie-in-the-sky high school bullshit.
and if you are going to throw the old folks into the gutters man the fuck up, look them in the fucking eye, and stick in the fucking knife.
