&quot;And they say we&#039;ll never see half as much <br /> as they did. It&#039;s true that we never saw Vietnam <br /> or World War Two. We didn&#039;t see our mother&#039;s cry <br /> when John F. Kennedy died, but we&#039;ve lived our <br /> whole lives being told that we&#039;re just not good <br /> enough. We&#039;ve seen anorexia and bulimia because <br /> skinny just isn&#039;t skinny enough. We saw Columbine <br /> and watched the Twin Towers fall. We&#039;ve seen a <br /> lot of greed and even more hate. Our generation <br /> fights a different kind of war but we&#039;ve seen just <br /> as much as them.. and maybe even more.&quot;
