46. I think it is, and this is an interesting thing to bring up...
... as I've had the same opinion when having worked closely within a group (I was the one 15 years to 20 years their senior, and I'm 57 now).

I believe everyone comes from a formative frame of reference and is shaped a great deal by it. Because I'm a boomer with older boomer siblings, and remember sharing much with my mother who grew up during the depression, I've broadened my perspective. The people I worked with were well educated, seemed to follow somewhat the same headlines I did each day, but had a totally different frame.

It was and still is frustrating to discuss events with that generation divide because it's such a damned big one.

Good observation and worthy of more discussion...
