Generation X is beyond all that bullshit now. It quit smoking and doing coke a long time ago. It has blood pressure issues and is heavier than it would like to be. It might still take some ecstasy, if it knew where to get some. But probably not. Generation X has to be up really early tomorrow morning.- Mat Honan
This my response to OccupyWallStreet.
I’ve got three kids. A house in the burbs. Working for myself.
And not that long ago, society, and my student loan provider said, “we don’t believe in you.”
Even then I had no idea what that meant.
Today, I don’t have time to camp out in a public park – I’ve got work to do.
This is helping me sort out my own ambivalence towards this whole “occupy” business (and protests in general). As a fellow X-er.
