X'ers and Millenials

After posting the very amusing "Gen X says" a few days ago, I learn that Gen X'ers are apparently happy people (?), and am also reminded that we X'ers have quite a lot in common with the Millenials. At the end of the day, however much their sense of entitlement might annoy me, I think Amanda Marcotte is right: the Millenials are our little brothers and sisters. They've got our backs in what matters. I would like to go one step further than she did, though, and argue that as we're a little older and more experienced, we should take that status seriously and actually lead them. After all, we've got more money and are old enough to run for public office.
