re: Will the millennials be a lost generation?

Most milennials have no idea what's going on in the Eurozone.

For me, the most concerning thing is a lack of reverence for the traditions that make America exceptional. Take for instance the SCOTUS gay marriage ruling. Absolutely no one gave a frick about the constitutional basis or future legal implications of the decision, and we're more concerned about making rainbow colored Facebook pictures.

In general, I think people are a product of their environment, and generations are extremely vaguely defined, so I think pitting groups against each other is a worthless exercise. Can you imagine what our children will say about us? But don't assign blame of financial illiteracy or irresponsibility to one generation when the current youth fully endorsed that in recent presidential elections.
