These two also wrote a number of interesting books on generations. "13th Gen" for Gen Reagan (as we FReepers like to call ourselves) and "Generations". Both are pretty interesting.
I think they have a few other books on the subject.
qam1 - probably a good post for a Gen X ping.
There is one statistic in this article that staggers me, if it's true. It's that 1/3rd of this generation was aborted. If this is accurate, then the Boomers can hang in their old age. How dare they decimate our workforce by 1/3rd, then demand that we support them in their retirement while simultaneously raising our own children?
The way I see it, if you lived a good life then there will be people to love and care for you in your old age. If you were selfish then you don't deserve to have your children and grandchildren sacrifice for your comfort. Honestly, I think that this generation has sacrificed enough for their parents' careers, soul-searching, egos and childishness.
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
