Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation 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.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Your generation is full of self-absorption and self-adulation among other things. If it's just now graduating from high school, it is NOT for the most part defending America in Iraq. The soldiers LEADING that charge cut their teeth in Mogadishu, GW I, and some places we'll never hear much about. I should mention that your generation also seems very quick to take credit for things they did not do. That's going to make you very unpopular one day.
Us Baby Boomer "protesters" and "slobs" built an economy for your sorry ***es to enter at the lowest level until you've EARNED respect and a higher position through merit. That is if you can compete against people as good or better than you in India, Singapore, and Communist China. And if you can't, us slobs and protesters will nix your domestic job and ship it overseas faster than you can say quarterly results.
Son, it's always been a "rebellion against a rebellion. Most of the world is one big cycle, and it's been around long enough to teach you and yours some lessons. Did you know that the Greeks fought the Persians up the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq along lines of battle that our troops now fight along? It's that old.
God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Hans Zeiger ought to be reminded that: a) pride goeth before fall; b) that Hillsdale College probably has reading lists of books to read and paper assignments to write, and c) it is not right to inflict his output on unsuspecting audience. His professors are at least paid to read it.
I'll take ome Hillsdale grad to any 10 from the Ivy.
This dude has some serious issues. Engaging in numerology for one thing while claiming to be Christian.
