"My generation held social justice as a primary concern - civil rights, feeding and housing the poor, working for peace, opposing capital punishment, and working for immigration reform and farmworker rights. The newer generation seek something else, the same thing they seek from the megachurches: self-affirmation and moral certitude."

Yep Joe, so this generation is just more self centred - or to put it less politely - selfish. They want to Look Good, not Do Good. Funny, but I remember some put downs of such people in the New Testament....
