We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep.--Genesis

CALLING ALL GEN-XERS.

This is it; our beginning. Our proving ground. Our turn. We are old enough yet young; wise enough yet naive; strong enough yet vulnerable. We were brought to be in the love of the flower children; spent our childhood in the waining of Vietnam; our teens during the grey trickle-down economic end to the Cold War; came to young adulthood in the grunge of Seattle. We feasted our minds on the internet boom and moved within its demise; growing into our realities as the century turned. We carry with our Reagan-instilled skepticism the idealistic hope of our parents. What better combination to take on the new challenges that face this society? Who better to "think outside the box"? When will we get a better chance to carry the hope of peace and the love of equality to the future? Let it begin with us; let us draw on the experience of our elders and the enthusiasm of our children. I know you are scared; so am I. Let's try anyway.
"Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it"--Goethe
