I've always thought it hilarious that the BabyBoomer cut off is 30 June 1961, which makes Princess Diana one of the very first post-boomers, as her birthday was 1 July 1961. What a difference a day makes.<BR/><BR/>The Generation Jones thing is very interesting connectingthedots - just having a quick google at it during my lunch hour to find out more (how very Gen-Y of me!). <BR/><BR/>Kath, where does your definition come from? According to some of the stuff I've just read, you're be a Gen-Jones too, as you're a 68 baby.<BR/><BR/>And should we get started on star signs now?

And that's a good thing; while there are advantages to being label-less, there are far more advantages to us having our place as a bona fide generation, and having out collective voice factored into the national debate. <BR/><BR/>As many prominent experts and publications have pointed out: Obama is part of Generation Jones, born 1954-1965, between the Boomers and GenXers.<BR/><BR/>This link takes you to a page you may find interesting: it has, among other things, excerpts from publications like Newsweek and the New York Times, and videos with over 25 top pundits, all talking specifically about Obama’s identity as a GenJoneser:<BR/>http://www.generationjones.com/2008election.htmlConnectingTheDotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953576515209737142noreply@blogger.com
