I'd make jokes about "Logan's Run"...

I'm going thru the most recent issue of Locus, which has an interview with writer John Barnes. Talking about the younger generation, he says:

"...They also seem clearly oriented toward the small, tight group of friends; there's much more of the in group/out group difference..."

He then goes on to this:

"...if you're going to sell to people under 30, don't stress 'You are an individual, you are unique' too much, because to a lot of people that registers as, 'You don't have any friends,' which is to say, 'You're a loser'..."

I'd make jokes about "Logan's Run" at this point, except that, if this is true, I'm more glad than ever that I am not that age any more.

Because they make me angry. It's like people who brag about being Conservatives, when they benefit from freedoms achieved thru the work of others.

(So much for my being speechless.)

Fair enough.
