Honestly, I don't think my generation has any 'best minds'... I mean, come on, Curt Fricken Cobain, Mr. "I ate a shotgun once" was called "The Voice of Our Generation"...and I'm sorry but the man was an idiot.
No one in my generation has the attention span, the breadth or depth of education, or the moral wherewithal to compose or be reached by great poetry (or fine literature of any kind). And I'm as shallow, stupid, lazy, apathetic, selfish, and attention-deficient as the rest of the people I talk about, though perhaps marginally more self-aware.
To the people before and after my generation, who depend on us, or WILL depend on us for anything: I am deeply and thoroughly apologetic and embarassed. (But far too lazy and self-involved to do anything about it.)
