"... I mostly just want to point out that we adapted to a system setup by Gen-Xers, who are largely in charge at this point ..." An assertion at best. My standard reply ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/227128232/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/227128232/ I hardly think GenX is in charge of mainstream opportunity as you make out.

Having to do their own thing which might appear - narcissistic/entitled is one of the coping strategies.
