More on Friedman's Generation Q

Awhile back, I posted about a column from the NYT written by Thomas Friedman.

Courtney Martin, writing in The American Prospect, has a much, much better response. Read hers; it's wonderful.

Also, please let me know if it applies to you, in comments or in an email.

A taste:

We do our best. We pursue careers and seek answers to questions that we believe are important. So many of the young New Yorkers standing around my living room that night were professional activists -- social workers and teachers and nonprofit workers. We discuss the latest current events, send one another links to our favorite blogs or videos on the subjects, grab drinks after work and hash it all out. We study like hell. My generation knows so much about so much. We read everything and anything that we think might point us in the direction of some kind of political enlightenment and psychic relief.

But it's not enough. I know that.
