{I'm saying the two (ROL and Generation X) are
directly linked or need to be compared... other than a
certain Underground lurking.}
Hello,
ROL : Republic of Lakotah
March 28, 2008, 07:28:37 PM
Standoff at Lac du Flambeau Tribal Center in
WisconsinOjibwe nation
SA continues: These sit in's/standoff's are in
protest against paper chiefs. I heard the Cree are
having problems too near Edmonton. The Lakotah are
calling the Lac du Flambeau paper chief problem 7
times worse than Dick Wilson (which lead into the
second wounded knee). These comments are from the ROL
forum.
The standoff, newsed in the the forum, can also
be found here below:

SA continues: With Ron's Nirvana comments and Ian
struck me with the patterns within patterns, within
patterns... I know Ian mentioned this before, but then
it hit me. All are patterns, and I think more in
action or verb form, instead of noun. These patterns
are patternizing. All is patterning. Yet, some
patterning is slowed, almost brought to a halt
becoming stuck, maybe even for decades. This paper
chief Dick Wilson comment, and he sit in's in Tribal
Councils is a throw back to the 60's and 70's.
Something in these static patternings didn't evolve
and change. As Ron and I mentioned how after Nirvana,
the change was near, we felt it, then nothing... yet,
these patterns are still lurking, they haven't died,
the patterns are stuck in some kind of lurking were
they are sustaining but are not generating or
degenerating - these patterns have evolved mainly up
to Nirvana, Perot (third party), and so forth, but
haven't been able to move or patternize since. You
know what the rest of the culture called the early
ninties late teens, early twenties generation -
Generation X, due to this generation being very quiet,
reaching a certain point, and then shhhhhh... nothing.
The history of Generation X includes various
dates, but here's one from a Coupland as follows:
"As Coupland explained in a 1995 interview, "In
his final chapter, Fussell named an 'X' category of
people who wanted to hop off the merry-go-round of
status, money, and social climbing that so often
frames modern existence." As the term Generation X
later became somewhat interchangeable with twenty
something, he later revised his notion of Generation X
to include anyone considered twenty something in the
years 1987 to 1991.[3] In fact, while the book is
often seen as being an accurate description of the
generation, Coupland maintains that the book was meant
to show the lack of a single description for it."
SA continues: Didn't somebody mention Coupland before
here on this forum? Here's more from wikipedia:
"Another cultural hallmark of Generation X was
grunge music, which grew out of the frustrations and
disenchantment of some teenagers and young adults."
SA continues: From a Time magazine article, which I
remember, and found funny that we were being labeled
as follows:
"The perception of Generation X during the early
1990s was summarized in a featured article in Time
Magazine:
'. . .They possess only a hazy sense of their own
identity but a monumental preoccupation with all the
problems the preceding generation will leave for them
to fix . . .
By whatever name, so far they are an unsung
generation, hardly recognized as a social force or
even noticed much at all..."
SA continues: And there we go "unsung generation".
Yeah, Ron, what happened, but I find it is still
lurking, a pattern still lurking looking to further
evolve. There is much interesting, though admittedly
due to the generational reflection this is giving me,
in the wikipedia on Generation X (which all the quotes
above on Generation X are from):
