'62 was a VERY good year.
;-)
I have always hated being lumped in with the long-haired, dope smoking, maggot infested hippies that made up too many of the damm "boomers".

Call me Mr. Jones. I voted straight R in my first national election - 1980. Reagan is my political hero.

Especially we later Jonesers (I was born in '62) want to have nothing to do with 1960s radicalism. We have far more in common with Xers than with Boomers, but are even more politically conservative than the Xers themselves (I think its backlash against our "big brothers / sisters" and innate resentment against those who took the best jobs throughout our careers).

RE: "some because there were simply not enough positions left in the make-believe world of academia, media, government and law. A lot of us have grown real tired of supporting the lifestyles of those who proceeded us into the world by 10 years or less and managed to worm their way into positions by default that we've had to earn through competition..."
Cha-ching! 100% correct ...

Many of the rock stars of the 60s and 70s were born during, not after, WW2. This makes lots of sense.

My daughter and her husband are in that age group (Jones) and they are both extremely conservative. Partially due to good upbringing, IMO, at least on her side! :^)

Maybe we'll come to be labelled the Tea Party Generation, assuming we get sick enough of being everyones' mules.

The Yers (kids of earlier, hippyish Boomers) were groomed by the parents to be radicals. I'd say about 60 percent of them are, the rest rebel against their parents and have more in common with Xers and Jonesers.

This would be me versus the "big kids" on my street - didn't have any older siblings since my own folks were on the young end of the Silent Generation (born just before WW2).

Darn, I'm still a baby boomer just like Rush. I like the new group name though.

I'm a Jones generation voter, who cast my first vote for Richard M Nixon.
Finally, there's realization that we don't have all that much in common with the smelly hippie types making fools of themselves in Viet Nam era protests.
