Talkin' 'bout my generation

It's things like this that make me proud of my peers, a generation that started high school days before 9/11 and graduated college in the thick of an economic shitstorm: NY Mag's article about the class of 2009 paints us in the positive light we've been waiting for, straight from a poll of this year's graduates.
"If you can't change your circumstances, fix your thinking!  Graduates tended to interpret in a positive light what to earlier generations seem like worst-case scenarios ... Rather than rage against the machine, they prefer to hack their own futures."
Holla at my homeboys and girls who see the light - this is a time for change and rehashing of old notions, rather than a governmentally sanctioned mass freakout.  Let's think outside the box the way we do best, go forth into this mad mad mad mad world, and give 'em hell.
