Reply #60: Hmmm.... [View All]

[Bridget Burke]

I was a member of the "hippie" generation. But most of my friends & I thought that Reagan sucked. The political message I remember began "Ask not..."

Gainfully employed for some years now, I could never be considered a "Yuppie." (Still renting, for one thing.)

My Mom raised us on tales of the Depression. I'm sure my Father had some stories, too. But he was called back on active duty when I was 6 weeks old & killed in a military plane crash when I was 4.

Generalizing about Generations is silly. Am I supposed to consider all the Gen-X'ers whining slackers?
