Neglected

There is a lot I didn't touch on, Lesley. Unfortunately, in such a limited space, I can only pick a few points to support my perspective.

I could have brought up the fact that, since most Gen Xers have been old enough to vote, we have had either a Clinton or Bush in the White House. This threatens to continue for another 4 to 8 years.

I completely skipped the influence of home video games and the Internet. On a related note, I could have explored the impact of the dot com boom, then crash.

I also didn't mention the marketing of fear that we have heard consistently from the media, the government, and people with things to sell.

I could have spent the entire article on music and even then barely skimmed the surface. Just the resurgence of the music festival would have filled an article.

There is a lot to talk about. But if I covered everything, what would mDave write about next week?

Thank you for filling in some of holes. You brought up some important elements.
