"Generation Me"? Well, that's nice, isn't it? Are we sure we don't want to call the consumeristic, self-obsessed baby boomers "Generation Me" instead? You know, while we're generalizing?
It seems people like to point fingers at younger people and shake their heads. I've done it myself. And I'm sure I'll do it even more when I'm old.
That said, anyone my age who expects anything on a silver platter is just an idiot. The good news is that life will hammer that home if they don't smarten up on their own.
On a more serious note, thanks for your post Redforever - fantastic stuff. You summed up what I was going to say better than I could.

Frankly, you have more in common with the people in that photograph, now your grandfathers and grandmothers, than you might think . . . . .

Really minor point, but for the majority of the people on this board, those people would almost certainly be our parents, not grandparents.
