No one has walked on the moon in my lifetime,” I told them. “Yet you try to tell me that it’s my generation who has lost their wonder? That it’s the young people of today who have let everything slip and fall into ruin? You don’t understand. You had the dream and the potential and the opportunities, and you messed it all up. You got hope and moon landings and that bright, glorious future. I got only the disasters.

#we got budget cuts and another war and a recession and a crumbling economy and class divide#and the awareness that our planet is dying#visions of the future are always rooted in the present#is it any wonder we think about disasters?#but if our present looks like a disaster who do we have to thank for that? oh yeah (racethewind10)
Yup.
