Ditto -- don't assume that everybody born between 1945 and 1955 is a hedonist nitwit. Many of us were the first in our families to graduate from high school, let alone university, and we were impressed very early in our lives with this fact and with our responsibility to the world that came with our attaining the good things of the world. We passed this along to our children although the world made it tough, and we hope that they will do the same in their turn.
You hate being termed "slackers" and "Generation Why" as a lumpen group; give us the same consideration.
