I love this line:

The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. The girls were still outgoing, but the young men tended to turn a little introspective.

Read: the girls became whores and the guys became sociopaths.

Or, how about this line:

The grown-up liberal men, on the other hand, with their introspection and recognition of complexity in the world, could be seen as self-indulgent and ineffectual.

Introspection=navel gazing

Recognition of complexity=can't make up their minds about anything
