The boomers became the yuppies, they turned from peace, love and understanding – to get the hell out of my way, I have to make piles of cash screwing over other people. Gen Jones just got the shaft.

I really hate the way president obama is being called a generation xer, yea he was born in 1961, so maybe scientificaly he is, but culturally he is not. Like Strauss and Howe talk about in thier book generations, about turnings throughout the generations, there is a huge culture diffrence between those who graduated high school before Reagan, and those who graduated after Reagan. The late 70′s were a turning poibnt in culture, the passing of the culture reins from the baby boomers to the yuppies, or generation jones as they seem to prefer. People who graduated high school in the 70′s as Obama did, seem to have more in common with generation jones, who are just actually late baby boomers, same feelings and ideaology. Im just afraid once again, like it has always been our generation is going to be misunderstood, because of the confusing actions and ideaology of Obama.

[...] We already have a Gen X’er in the White House. Time for other Gen X’ers to step up and heed the call of pragmatic leadership at all levels. And Boomers we need your help! Just don’t think we are going to be interested in hearing what you are angry about, or that it will help solve the monumental problems our world is facing today. [...]
