It took hold with the baby boomers (hippies) who did not want to grow up and address each other as adults.

Here is what I sent to "Liz":

You know, you are really pathetic when you are pompous!

I suggest you go flush your toilet, then waut until the water is still. Now, stick your right index finger into the water up to the second knuckle. Now, and I hope you are still with me here...count to three and pull it out.

Now, observe the hole that is left in the water.

That is the impact you have on the rest of the world.

Think about it.

I’m on the young end of the baby boom (Generation Jones) but grew up in the South. I never addressed an adult by his/her first name and neither did my children.
