Good luck, kid. You speak well. Maybe you, and your generation, can do what my generation couldn't.

I'm not holding my breath, but I'm pushing 40 and bitter as all hell. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am.

Good luck, kid. Godspeed, via con Dios, may the wind be ever at your back.

Good article, not condescending or alienating like some articles seem to be.
