It’s not Us vs. Them… if you’re talking about age.
Baby Boomers: 50% of Gen-Y is unemployed. Tell your friends. For the record, a lot of us think it’s crappy most of you have to spend your retirements greeting the masses at WalMart.
Gen-Y: Most baby boomers realistically can’t afford to retire. Even if they did, most companies would cease to exist because you were never trained to take their place.
Gen-X: Rock on with that Medicinal Marijuana stuff. Outstanding use of the free time you have since they wont promote you and you can’t quit.
Now… if we’re talking about money instead of age – then hell yes it’s Us vs Them; I think it’s high time we go to Wall Street and kick some ass. Everybody but Gen-X, that is (who’ve misinterpreted my use of the phrase “High Time”). Just point ‘em to the Cheetos.

For us stoned cheetos covered Gen X-ers could you please explain the point that you're trying to make? Maybe if you used 3 more colors in your font, I'll trip out on it under my black light.

Dead Hedge,
Quite right! The point being - we really can't afford to let business, politicians, or anyone else turn us against each other. The right thing to do right now is chill out and do the best we can with what we have... or band together and try to make some positive change (like Medicinal Marijuana being legalized in many states and cities - a truly cross-generational endeavor).
Anyway, I recommend people start tripping before they read my posts, it makes the jokes easier to stomach.
