>Tell them to grow up and get over it.  We're experiencing the worst outbreak of unregulated laissez-faire capitalism since before the Great Depression, and if Gens X-Z don't have a better strategy than scapegoating boomers, they're hosed.
No problem, I don't take it personally because -- as I pointed out -- it isn't a fair comment. All boats are being scuppered in an ebb tide. 

I agree that there are ways to think and work our way out of these dilemmas. But I wouldn't underestimate the inequalities which have developed over the past 40 years. And it has been pointed out that the tuition price-tag hides the fact of millions in uncollected dollars which Antioch's current students cannot pay.
