Like you, Keith, I like the same things about Emergents that I
liked about Boomers--when we were younger!
Beatniks, hippies, yippies, Jesus
people--we all started out hip but wound up square--just like our parents.
Why will this generation be different?
Coach D,
I think that emergents will be different. Mainly I believe that because I am
this generation. I have no boomer in me. However, it seems to me that we have
been taught by those who still hold to that "idealism" - the Drury's,
Bence's, Bounds', etc. This "idealism" has
become much more real to us. We didn't think it up, but it was just given to
us. It's not revolutionary to us, but is actually what we are supposed to do. I
think that will be a bit different.
IMHO, this is the most accurate and insightful post you have
ever written! From a tail-end boomer, I believe that you hit the direct center
of the bullseye and I agree with you 100%!!!
