Brad,
You are right to say that we are the instant generation.  We also have
the belief that if we just talk enough, think enough, contemplate enough,
everything can be fixed, but interestingly enough, (GRIN!) it is our
parents, the silent, doer generation, that has helped to make us this
way.  They were quiet, but they, on mass, wanted us to have a better life
than they had so they set about to make our lives easier and richer and
now we can see what richer and easier does to humanity.  It hasn't
necessarily made us better, just more selfish, greedy and stuck on
ourselves which is why we want to talk so much.  We want to confront or
get "it," off our chests and try to get everybody else to change rather
than be willing to accept and struggle and change ourselves.  The saddest
thing to me is to watch senior citizens act like baby boomers.  Why not?
We're the ones that demand all the attention.
Kathy
