I have definitive proof that now that our parents have thrown us out they have far too much time and/or money on their hands.

I have witnessed the future my friends, and it isn't pretty. Needless to say I have been emotionally scarred by the whole fiasco of - I can hardly bring myself to type this - a jewelry party.
A dozen or so middle-aged suburban housewives drinking wine and pecking over $200 bracelets as their forbears in the '50's gawked at Tupperware. Why did I attend, do you ask? To get my mom to buy me shit, of course. But that is neither here nor there. The point is, if you are not bugging you parents on a weekly basis for more funds, do so. If they say they're broke, I say they're lying, the very existence of such a thing as a "jewelry party" attests to that.
The Baby Boomers are ruling the world and their children are out on their own, working jobs that don't pay shit so they can get an education in order to get another job, which they also hate, while the parents relax in front of their home entertainment systems and ridiculous personal computers they don't even know how to use. Sometimes I wonder if they even remember being poor. They are willing participants in the raping of our society by advertising and it sickens me. I know for a fact that my mother was a hippie, and now even she has fallen victim to the cult of consumerism.
Pardon me, i am dissillusioned, fed up, and downright cranky, and now I'm going to stick my head in the oven....
