"This country, because of freedom, you've ALWAYS had a choice. You can be a bum, you can choose not to work, you can choose to live on whatever you can be given, OR you can make your way in life. Your generation is being told 'you don't have any choice,' because you don't have any free will. You are predestined to misery and failure, because everybody around you is that; and as such, you must turn over your life to Democrats or the government or whoever will protect you and coddle you and walk you through this misery and this maze."
Understanding this is also what makes some of the 'positive' Gen X messages to Gen Y so important.
