However, as a citizen of the world, I'd probably have to reverse my answers. I know of no stats to use in a fair assessment and I'm not sure I would follow up---I'm just getting into the swing of balancing my life and my guilt load. <br /><br />Nice to see you back.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290697793302878550.post-70276463708025937832010-12-18T11:15:41.657-05:002010-12-18T11:15:41.657-05:00The question the article raised for me is whether ...The question the article raised for me is whether we as a generation have been selfish with our good fortune. There are two challenges we need to consider: whether we as individuals have been greedy, and whether we as individuals have stood up sufficiently to influence government and broader social and fiscal behaviour. I'd be curious to know what balance an objective observer would find between the 'V' generation and the me-generation, between our efforts at peace, love, and save-the-planet, and our more selfish pursuits. We know that the greed of ENRON and Bernie Madoff and the Wall Street banks had a huge impact on the world's financial troubles, but was that tendency to greed, at a more personal scale, typical or exceptional of our generation? Is there a statistician out there who has done a fair assessment? <br /> - Pokemon the persistentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290697793302878550.post-12172358515505050152010-12-15T21:22:31.189-05:002010-12-15T21:22:31.189-05:00I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish...I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a glorious Holiday Season!!<br />xoxo,<br />gabrieleGabriele Agustinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837967050743530302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290697793302878550.post-83912935192788828552010-12-15T07:02:29.456-05:002010-12-15T07:02:29.456-05:00I have thought about this too.

Like you, I paid my dues literally and physically. I continue to volunteer in my community. My own 3 children are fortunate--so far--gainfully employed, but I do know a lot of people, well qualified people, who are jobless.

I may borrow a few ideas from you for a verbal assault on deserving members of the House and Senate.
