What they have produced, the so-called Generation X, must rank as not only the most ignorant but also the must paranoid and depressive kids ever to infest our Republic. I agree with outlaw radio staw Travis Hipp that the paranoia and depression result inevitably from the ignorance. These kids not only don't know anything; they don't even want to know. They only realize, vaguely, that somebody has screwed them out of something, but they don't have enough zest or bile to try to find out who screwed them and what they were screwed out of.
