>Does anyone here find this to be a bit similar to the current situation.
No. I'm doing pretty (very) well in my late 20s, but none of my younger
brothers are, and certainly don't have the free cash as my parents did in
the 60s - and they came from 'poor' families - but at least the shop jobs
available paid well. You sound like you're doing well, but not everyone
works, or can work, in IT / the New Media. We might get our fair share of
the pie but statistics show that, on average, most young (i.e. not me!)
people are worse off - wealth is being redistributed back to the rich. For a
currently fashionable read on the subject check out Naomi Klein's 'No Logo'.
>2. The Economy is strong.

Not lived through a recession or two yet, then :-)

If that's what the list was like, there wouldn't be half the trouble. Most
of the frustration is the crap that goes on. Talk about something you think
is the future and see if people join in. But we're not about to abandon our
Etta James records just because they're old because - like those Bauhaus
designs you mentioned - they're still GREAT records. If yesterdays dinner is
still tasty you don't eat a shit sandwich for breakfast. Is ignorance the
only way to go forward?

Well, Gordon's going to get the kids together and we're going to walk on a
Long March to Davos to chant 'If the kids are united / we will never be
divided' until the world business leaders give us all free personal tailors
and 50 Mb of webspace.
>biggest oxymoron ever.. Take a stab.. whats next..
The same as last week, I guess.
>How do you feel

>millenium of MOD.
Shallowly and expensively. Which is fine by me, as I can take it with a
pinch of salt.
>neo-mod magazine get over it by now and just read it..)
It was better in the old days :-)
