A friend of mine asked me yesterday, in the context of my story on the anger of Gen X, if I thought this was our moment, our chance to break out beyond the ‘X’ and actually leave a unique signature on this country and world? Or will greatness skip ‘X’ and ‘Y’ putting all eyes on ‘Z’ to be the next ‘great generation’?

It was a great question, and got me thinking.
