My generation's primary countercultural impulse is the desire to remain free of our society's sins while still partaking in its fruits.

Ever since WWII, the prescribed path to happiness for a child born into the upper income quartile in America has been:

• Go to college

• Find a skilled profession that is both fulfilling and pays enough to support a family

• Fall in love

• Marry

• Buy a house on the outskirts of a city

• Have children

• Socialize primarily with one's own spouse, children, and near relatives.
