So yeah, debt can be some random accident like getting hit by a car. `OWS, to me, represents an entitled generation.` Which post-WW2 generation can't be described as an entitled generation?

The issue is using "generation". There's always been an entitiled subset of each generation. The question has it grown and are they more vocal?

The issue is also, is it really entitlement to ask for a level playing field and a functioning democracy?
