Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Every so often, there will be a hand-wringing article about how millennials are the most spoiled, narcissistic generation of Americans ever, followed up by a defensive article (written by a millennial) insisting that every group of adults says that about the youth that follow them.

Mass killers hold culture — and country — hostage

Posted on by Jonah Goldberg
