You can't tell?  The radio stations are still playing the music of your
generation.  The movies are derivatives of the movies of your
generation.  Most tax breaks are targeted towards your generation.  New
laws are written by and for people of your generation.

This just avoids the question; how could you be discriminated against by
us if your generation is so great?  If your generation is so great, why
wouldn't people of your age be making hiring decisions?

Ken Lay is 59, Skilling is 48, both closer to your age than mine.
Duncan looks younger, but he's not the fucked-up CEO; he's a flunky who
helped in the coverup.

Vote for whom?  All of the choices (which will be largely drawn from
your generation) will support those laws.
