Generational naming conventions... Boomers, X'ers, so Y?

[Deja Q]

Generation X may as well be renamed "Generation Screwed". Caused by a bunch of Boomers, with the newest generation entering the workforce eponymously asking "Y Y Y Y Y???!"

Makes a disturbing sort of sense... but it can't be more than just a coincidence?

1. An extension of alpha system. Alphabetic beein the order we can rely on.

2. Hmmm. Baby Boomers = B. Immediately next is X.

What happened to C thru W? Misplaced at K-mart; can be found in the lost'n'found bin?!

5. Yes B change place. Goes at the end of the line. Should it go there?

3. Echo Boomers (we are their kids) Or Gen D (digital)

I like Gen D my self. You boomers keep asking us for computer help. :shrug:

4. We're all screwed it seems, but Boomers didn't cause it.

It was started before their time. Back in the Boomers day there were divided camps: those that protested against war and Big Brother, and those that supported the war and hated protesters. George W. Bush and his political kin, including Samuel Alito, despised hippies, protesters and peace.

But George The Lesser wasn't given the presidency because he deserved it, or was even qualified for it. He was put in that position because he's a member of a family long involved with the fascist faction -- that group that masquerades as freedom loving conservatives.

Boomers can't be blamed for the current state of things. We live in the same world now that we did in the 70's when Nixon was making his power grab. Boomers can be given some credit for helping to bring down that criminal administration.

But one battle won wasn't enough. It's so true that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Now is the time for all good citizens to come to the aid of their country -- young and old.

Generation Green. That's what I hope you guys are. The generation that cares first for the condition of the planet.

6. I like the "Generation Green" tag. It is the most inclusive. nt
