My Comments
Here is MY input as a 48 year old going on 15 : I think all of these trite labels are completely LAME. There ARE no "Generation thises and Generation thats, folks... it's all smarmy crap imposed upon us my marketers, advertisers , poll-takers and demographers! DON'T buy into the hype! We're all basically the same if you just pull of the surface crap and give yourselves a chance... our problem is that we don't spend enough time hanging out and talking to one another. Cheesy people will always be cheesy people. And the whole notion of allowing oneself to be defined by how one WORKS or what one DOES at WORK again, simply seems really dumb. Come on, people? WORK??? Since when does "work" define a persons life or encompass a human beings attributes, yearnings, spirit and soul? I guess some people just suck up to the whole label thing, but it just seems horrifically a) stupid and b) limiting.
