As an X'er, I lived the liberal, progressive, nontraditional, "Boomer" lifestyle until I was about 30. Thats how I was raised. Then, after numerous failed relationships, burying friends, dead-end jobs and a bleeding ulcer, I realized that values like "If you only hurt yourself, its OK -- I don't want you to do it, but if you do.. -- It's all good between consenting adults" are big lies.

The truth is, what I do effects my family, my family effect our community, our community effects our society and our society effects the world.

I could have sat in my home, all alone, drinking myself to death, repeating "Its OK because I am only hurting myself". Or I could have continued having unrestrained sex with other "consenting adults" until I had a horrible disease. Or I could have continued "playing house" with women, until it was time to head for the door.

Then one day, I said to myself "Ya know, what I am doing isn't working and isn't right."

I stopped lying to myself, prayed for guidance and took responsibility of my life.

After that, I meet a decent lady, got to know her without playing house, bought my first home, got married and began a traditional family. There have been tough times but the commitment and respect we have for each other strengthened our bonds.

Many X'ers still haven't figured it out, but deep down they know the lies. Still, they don't want to give up the only value system they have ever known. Could that be why so many liberals are angry? They know their value system doesn't work?

Traditional values are "traditional" because they work.
