Good Charlotte? The Roots? Eve?

WTF is that?

I was born in 1970. What labelled generation am I in?

I'd say so...The Roots helped put Philadelphia back on the music map.

I don't disagree with you on your last point, Bruce. As far as the government's role in our lives...I do think that the government should take care of us. Having said that, I don't think the bureaucracy could be tamed to the point where it would be possible, which is why I support ending SS and do not support universal healthcare.

Oh I see, having paid the max to SS all these years, now that I'm ready to collect, you want to stop it. I don't think so.

They're music artists (The Roots and Good Charlotte are bands) that have risen to popularity over the past 5 years. Are you not familiar with them? If not, I wouldn't be surprised, given that you didn't know who The Smiths were...and you lived in the UK during the height of their popularity.

Depending on who you talk to, you're either a Gen Xer or part of the 13th Generation.

Never heard of them. Granted, I don't have my radio on 24/7 or anything, but I've heard of the big popular people.

Easy there, old man. Any child born on or after...lets say 1/1/08...should not receive SS.

Not if Bush gets his way. He'll have spent it paying for his adventures in Allah land.

You're just jealous you didn't think of peanut butter first.

This gentleman is truly impressive ... not because he was Black, but because of what he was able to accomplish despite a lack of formal education.

Drive, initiative, and brilliance bring one to the fore, no matter what.

Not necessarily, IMO. In many cases, certainly. But in some cases, opportunity/luck/fate plays the biggest role of all.

Curious: what's "preaching hate" to the younger ones?

There are men (black, white and yellow) that preach to the younger ones that they should hate (fill in) because of things that happened to the older ones. Not warnings or cautions but demanding the young ones hate (fill in) out of duty to their elders rather than going on their own experiences. That just perpetuates hate.

Naw, I was thinking of some neat tools. A lot of things they invented were labor saving devices. Gee, now why do you think that was?
