e-ore, off the top reaction was maybe it has something to do with the idea that the millennials
are a me-me generation which led me to a Time piece, the mention of which led to this one

The 5 best reactions to the TIME cover story on millennials

in which the Time piece is linked .. probably since i know nought about these so-called gen groups, and have always wondered about
how useful the labels really are, i'm no more the wiser from the few minutes just spent .. lol, though finding myself a bit partial to

5. Ezra Klein, The Washington Post

Ezra Klein, the media world's very own millennial wunderkind, put his objections to the article in easy-to-digest chart form:

Ezra's there, i think, feels sorta consistent with my wondering how really useful the labels are .. feeling just now is your point re the millenials not worrying

Democracy is not easy, either.
