the classic Nomad (Generation X) description of a tough, hard edged pragmatist who does not trust government or corporations.
...Generation X will provide the tough resolute leadership in the midst of the Crisis, defending society. Let’s hope the country will produce Nomad leaders on par with previous Nomads


Don't forget that for every George Washington created by a generation of tough, hard edged pragmatists there is a William T Sherman ("War is all hell"), Phil Sheridan ("The only good Indian is a dead Indian") or Curtis LeMay ("If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting"). Men who "Got the job done" and didn't care much about how many people got dead in the process. An era ruled by such cold pragmatism isn't likely to bring a smile to the PC boomers or Obama voting millennial.

Gotta love Curtis LeMay! I remember when he was George Wallace’s running mate. I headed up the George Wallace student mock campaign thingie. We got a lot of votes.

Especially since they are the ones who will be on the receiving end of the aforementioned pragmatism.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
