By Staff Writer and William Suggs | Nov. 16, 2011Our generation has a wide array of reasons for taking to the streets against the injustices we have witnessed over the past 20 years. For more than half of our lives, our government has been involved in armed conflict in countries across the globe in the name of liberal democracy. Our politicians regularly engage in dubious behavior as they put their financial interests before that of their constituencies. In 2008, politicians, regulators, and bankers alike were implicated for the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression yet no one has been held accountable. Meanwhile, the cost of our education and the level of student debt compiles while the value of a college degree diminishes.
