    Please don’t lump Gen-Xers in with boomers. Why do you think Gen-X got its name? Disillusionment, detachment, loss of identity and purpose. Gen-X didn’t know what was wrong, but they knew enough to know they were left out. Even boomers aren’t to blame – they just have more people in the ownership class right now. If we divide along age and generational lines, the capitalists benefit.

      You’re right, I should not have lumped them in with boomers. That was a last minute and before submission to address the Marjorie’s/Karen’s of the world. Please accept my apologies.
