The Generations Conversation

This morning I read an article on the huge gap in thought the Generations have about life and politics in America. As always I am underwhelmed by the idea that this is news. Every Century has its divide in thought, but I do agree that the divide is deeper than it has been in some time. May they rest in Peace, if my Grandparents were alive today, they would not be in the same mind frame that I am in right now. They would be retired and not working and waiting to die. As harsh as this sounds, what right do they have to make decisions on our future. When I am old and waiting to die, I am going to worry more about what I am going to fix for dinner or what book I am going to read. I am sorry, but the Silent Generation's voice is too loud. Their votes are worth way more then ours. Some of them are still writing laws in Congress. John McCain does not have my future interests in mind. The greed of politics and corporation don't have my interests in mind. So this is what I am going to do: Start a business, work in that business everyday, live near that business, eat, drink, shop local. My money stays near me even when it is no longer mine. I have dismissed the education of my past. I was taught by my parents and grandparents to get a degree and a full time job with benefits, to buy and consume and own. That education has made me poor. I promise to never make anyone else rich, that I don't have a personal relationship with. Minimalism is key. Localism is key. Naturalism is key. Self educate, re-evaluate and survive!!!
