Your article brings back fond memories of Beau Lake and Dodge City. I vaguely remember a time when a moose urinated on your father's tent in the early morning hours when we were all sleeping. As you know, my father is Robert (Buzz) Barry. Those were the best times of my life. Merry Xmas Hi Joe,

Oh I don't think the list condemns Gen Y at all. My criticism is for the Boomers: http://www.joewilcox.com/2005/05/01/the-lost-generation/ Millennials are pretty straightforward about what they believe, unlike Boomers, who espoused one set of ideals while living by another set. “I don’t understand why that list in aggregate condemns a generation?”

I've 'stolen' every single Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Hendrix album off the internet since then. I would do it again. Why? I don't believe in lining the pockets of record company execs in exchange for my access to art. Some people are dead, and their art should be replicated world wide. Should I have to pay a nickel to see the Mona Lisa online? If you are going to argue that they are people who deserve income for their labors, I would retort that they still make money from concerts, movies, books, TV, etc. They [Gen X] feel “special” They’re “sheltered” by parents The feel “confident”—empowered They are “team-oriented” in actions/decisions They are “conventional” in attitudes about intolerance They feel “pressured” to succeed or to take certain actions They make “achieving” a priority, which is reinforced by peer groups I could argue against a couple of those, but its actually just about spot on. However, I don't understand why that list in aggregate condemns a generation? "Boomers make decisions based on data and facts" -I disagree, but maybe I just don't know the right elderly folk. p.s. i think the best Beatles song is Rockey Raccoon. p.p.s. the new kanye is actually pretty good too. Includes a ~30 minute video short, very entertaining. The first time I heard the Beatles was from my mom’s vinyl.

They [Gen X] feel “special”
They’re “sheltered” by parents
The feel “confident”—empowered
They are “team-oriented” in actions/decisions
They are “conventional” in attitudes about intolerance
They feel “pressured” to succeed or to take certain actions
They make “achieving” a priority, which is reinforced by peer groups

I could argue against a couple of those, but its actually just about spot on. However, I don’t understand why that list in aggregate condemns a generation?

I like reading Wired, and understand the extra work that is required to put the digital version together....so I don't think it should be free with a regular print version, but it also shouldn't cost $5 an issue.

That piece of info would make the cost comparisons a bit more clear. So how many issues per year does the New Yorker publish? That piece of info would make the cost comparisons a bit more clear.
