There were two kinds of people there the mild agnostics and the hard atheists.

My parti...Lito,<br /><br />That leads to an identity crisis!<br /><br />My particular birth year cohort has always been defined by the Boomers in a negative sense, e.g. grew up with the negative prospects of the 1970s instead of unlimited ones of the 1960s, graduated high school into the recession of the early 1980s, were defined either by our conservatism or our nihilism rather than the radicalism or idealism of the Boomers. <br />So, I'm going to stick with the gen-x label. <br />I read something last night - gen-x starts in the early 1960s and goes until 1976 - seems about right.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08978657816767706667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15967712.post-2368107066020315232009-11-08T05:52:40.706+11:002009-11-08T05:52:40.706+11:00Brethren,

(I was born in 1963, and my parents were both born during WWII - wow, that makes me feel old!)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08978657816767706667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15967712.post-44943253567555717262009-11-07T18:59:19.530+11:002009-11-07T18:59:19.530+11:00St Lito
