Reply #52: If the economy actually starts to seriously tank

it'll be the Gen Xers who pretty much lose their minds over it. I think apathy has been their greatest hobgoblin. Apathy and a kind of thoughtless belief that everything is okay if they can't see it personally.

I DO, however, believe that Gen Xers are so afraid of change, and are more likely to roll with change than previous generations.

As far as the white/male thing...:shrug: That only applies to those who play the game by the preset rules. If you challenge the rules, or don't play at all, it doesn't matter what gender or race you are. The establishment doesn't care one way or another. It'll crush and discard you just the same.
