Labels are funny
things. And they can have so many
different meanings, depending on who is using the label.
My younger sister
and I are Gen X, based on our birth years.
Yet, both our parents were born before the end of WWII, so we actually
have way more in common with Boomers (without the 1960’s angst), than our own
peers, because of how we were raised.
And, as one who
didn’t live it, and is looking back on it from an historical perspective, I
never really saw the point of much of that whole angst thing. Yes, there were some good things that came
out of the different protests of the time, but overall, what really was the
point?
Which brings me to 2025. We have people protesting everything it seems. Instead of protesting, we need people doing
the work to make all our lives better.
I ask, and encourage, as many readers as possible to please donate a minimum of $23 in honour of the 23 years I’ve been in publication. That works out to less than a $1/issue for the year. Receipts available on request. Thank you for your continued support.
