140. I so disagree that those
born after 1955 were just "wannabes." Though I was born in 1955 I have to say that the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, and the anti-war movement had profound affects on me. All of is actually colored my entire way of thinking. I became active in early 1968, at age 12, after Bobby Kennedy threw his hat in the ring.

I agree that trying to lump all of us born between 1946 and 1964 is a mistake. But it is also a mistake to determine that, if one was born after a certain date they are "wannabes." It's an insult to those of us who were influenced greatly by those who were immediately behind us and TOOK ACTION and continue to do so.
