- I'll have to read the Atlantic article, but Generation X'ers
- are those who were born in the 1960's. So Jenna, //anne//, Alec, and
- Rashmi are all X'ers. Aaron, Lisa, and the VMI'ers, on the other hand,
- were all probably born in the 1970's (assuming they are average aged
- college students). They are not X'ers. Perhaps they are the
- Thirteeners the article was talking about?
-
- X'ers consort with Boomers all the time. It's part of the
- Plan.
