You're right and that was good you pointed that out.
I have to be honest - maybe it was the parent in me, but I got the same vibe as Cantona and fellowtraveller. Perhaps it was the use of the word "smirk", which to me has very disrespectful connotations, or perhaps the fact that College Kid seems to indicate that he/she has somehow managed to acquire so much more "consciousness" than his/her parents - also extremely disrespectful as far as I'm concerned and very typical of young adults.
However, the thing that seems the most troublesome is the fact that he/she feels that somehow, not accepting employment to earn a wage that will help support them is enlightened. I'd be interested to know what his/her plans are to support him/herself. Surly he/she doesn't think it's his/her parents responsibility to continue to feed, house, and clothe him/her now that he/se is an adult?
