"...[T]he legacy of the Velvet Underground lives on in just about every decent piece of music recorded from the seventies to the present day. Despite being around for only nine years and living in obscurity the whole time, the Velvets spawned whole new genres of music with the four studio albums they released. Punk rock, indie rock, even heavy metal either wouldn’t exist or would be radically different were it not for the Velvet Underground."

In 20 years, I fully expect my generation to call out the army during a generation election, order federal law enforcement and members of the armed forces to arrest anyone over the age of 60 (to cover anyone older than Gen Xers) who attempts to vote, and ram through a bill that simply says:
“In retaliation to the immoral practice of excessive, oppressive borrowing against the future earning potential of future generations, the United States hereby cancels its debt obligations and terminates all FICA-financed programs.”
While we’re at it, I’ll also add another $0.02 of political heresy:
Fuck the World War II generation. Fuck them even harder than the Boomers. Virtually everything that is wrong with America, even the Boomers, is their fault.
The only people who SHOULD be calling them “the greatest generation” are the Communists for making this country go down hill so fast.
***And for the trifecta…
The real greatest generation of Americans was the 1776 generation; the WWII generation isn’t fit to dig them a latrine, let alone shine their boots and clean their uniforms.
Great cartoon.
If we’re gonna play the blame game I’m gonna go ahead and trump all of you and blame human nature.
Well, if we are blaming, it all comes down to God in the end, if we’re going that route. This is all part of his ineffable plan.
Trump that.
Hell. The devil made us do it.
Mike: 20 years from now I should be 80 yrs old if the death panels let me. Go right ahead with your bill. Personally I think you should propose that all surviving leftists and RINOs who pushed this crap are to be hung along Pennsylvania Ave; the bones of the non-surviving should be cast on the same street to be ground to dust.
Eh, as long as I get my Amtrak, high-speed rail funding, commuter and urban rail funding, along with proper maintenance of our highway network, I’ll be content…
not just the young, men were disproportionately effected by job loss in the recession. and think of the housing market collapse and the money men predominantly lost in that fiasco…
Hey everybody! Look at me! I’m a bitter, aging, has-been hausfrau who spends her free time hating on her intellectual superiors! I love running around making ridiculous claims that have no basis in reality, but whenever anyone obliterates my weak arguments with facts, I go off the deep end and start spouting insults and shaming language! Like this comment, where I claimed that there are still blue collar jobs available for men that they aren’t taking because they’re too lazy to perform physical labor, despite the fact that it is manufacturing, construction, and other blue collar professions that have been hit hardest by the recession! Truly, I am a pitiable creature, for no logic or reason can penetrate my thick-as-a-wall skull.

Go overseas, young man.

You’re awfully generous. I think in the future we’re going to see people pushing for a mandatory euthanasia program for anyone over a certain age. It’ll be billed as a plan to save Social Security or something.

Nah….it will be more passive. Keep in mind rising life-expectancies too, which means the ‘elderly’ group will splinter into the 65-80 crowd vs. the 80-100 crowd (the latter group being far too small to matter in the past), and have their own little internal strife.
The more analyses I run, the more I see that the US tax base is maxed out. CA has increased sales taxes, and discreetly increased income taxes.
When federal income taxes rise on 1/1/2011, tax revenues will actually decrease rather than increase. Feminism/socialism has already frown beyond what the tax base can support.
The chickens are soon going to come home to roost, which is actually better for (unmarried) men under 40 than the current status quo.
All my money is in emerging markets equities and high-yield bonds. No 1st-world assets as of early 2009.
I am usually right about this sort of thing.
Blame these guys.
Longevity is not a good thing unless you are of full mind. Very old people with alzheimers are living miserable lives. I think it’s better if people die before the age of 85.
Ironic isn’t it that with the advance of medical technology and what-not, we are living longer than ever before but we can’t enjoy because we are losing our minds.
I’d rather be euthanized than experience advanced stages of Alzheimers.
