The one thing that will always separate us Gen-X'ers from other generations is that we are the first generation to grow up in broken homes.

How that can be left out of the study is beyond me.

Also, the first generation where God was kicked out of the schools, abortion was legal and glorified, among other things.

Exactly. Would we "need" 20 million illegal alians working in the USA if 40 million of GenX hadn't been aborted?

This is so true and we've paid a huge price that has really begun to set in. For example, I knew a woman who had six, yes six abortions, was totally materialist, spent most her money on nice clothes, nice cars, she binge ate then threw it all up. She had at best one two year long relationship with a man that ripped her off. According to her she was empowered. Last year she died from cancer at age 40 with nor real relationship. This woman considered herself a Buddihist and very spiritual. But she screwed people over all the time. To the end she voted Democrat.

Seeing this all around me eventually brought me back to conservative values and believing in God. I was a latch key kid and man, when the solution of God was offered to me, it was like finally having a guiding parent and some stability. I wonder if some of this is true for the generations that follow and partially explains the movement back toward religion-the stability, love and esteeming values that where so attacked when we grew up. Also my generation have aborted so many babies as a birth control method, I just want to cry when I think of it and what our nation and the world has lost from all this selfish self centered destruction. /rant

Excellent points, all. How those points can be ignored shows the slant of this article and a lot of current "research" on "kids these days." ;)
