Well - good for them - but in some of these states - our schools have had an impact on the students - and for the worse - and I'm not talking about 20 year olds here - if you don't mind.

you have your opinion - I'll have mine - thank you very much - we are all individuals - influences do play a part - like it or not -

I'm sure that influences played a part in the Australian election too. Which you neglected to mention. And if you're not talking about 20 year olds, do you mind telling me WHAT voting age group you are referring to who have "influences" from "our" schools?

If you are talking about kids still in school...you may be thinking of GenerationY, instead. Depending on who you talk to, the GenX group were all born between 1965 and 1980. Although I'm generous and say that any late baby boomers or early GenY'ers that don't feel they belong in their respective groups can certainly call themselves GenXer's instead.

Sadly, I'm afraid my children's generation will be called Generation Chub!
