for technicality's sake, i'm not a gen-x'r. i'm a y, i think. maybe an x/y cusp?
i'm sending this to my mom. my mom who doesn't understand how white 40-and-unders made a black man their president. to my dad, who can't bare how much i sound like him during the Nam era until he came to realize "how the world works". my folks removed themselves in so many ways to not have to think about these things anymore and as a result they've become imprisoned in misconception via entertainment "news". self-preserved in a dangerous way out of retaliation to a generation that left their hope stranded or buried. this article is much more about parents who maintained the peace and love ideals of the 60's, which my parents left in the dust. but i'll be damned for trying to make them go back and pick it up.
