“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Generation Y has a bad reputation
Both of mine are Gen-Y kids but thankfully are not like the description here.
Still if you have one of these slackers loafing around your house, this probably strikes a chord with you and probably isn't as funny as it is to me.

I'm pretty sure the "greatest generation" cuts off well before 1946 - like 1930. It's the folks who fought in or supported the WW2 effort. The Great Depression and wartime children were much reduced in number and sometimes called the "Silent Generation." All this is totally arbitrary, of course. "Baby Boomers" like me get a bad rap as draft dodgers, etc., but many fought and died from Vietnam to Afghanistan.

"...get a bad rap...."
I reserve my contempt for those who carried out the state's orders to murder Vietnamese citizens. And Afghans. And Iraqis. And ....
