I saw the play Rent the other day. In the play it showed a group of individuals who were living from paycheck to paycheck, out of work and barely surviving. It also showed them dealing with issues of addiction, AIDS and homosexuality. The play made me think. Think about what are our struggles, what kinds of issues define our generation.
Every generation seems to have a common cause which brought everyone together.
There were the Beatniks, then the Hippies, and then there s us. The great depression is our lives. Our war is a war of the spirit. I see us as the products of the most prosperous and peaceful times this nation has ever seen. We are the children of a great economic boom.
