It took a while for me to get my eyes around this one, but Michelle has a distinct advantage in being a mathematician and this was probably as simple to her as a one line chart. Enjoy the next 15 minutes getting your arms around this one;
I personally think this chart is one of the most intersting, because it shows that our generation potentially has the most impact on society beyond that of the Baby Boomers, and yet all we hear about is our parents' generation ALL THE TIME, because they don't seem to want to realize that their day is past, their fire has gone out of the universe.
We're where it's at, and what's more frightening, we're having kids and becoming parents and having to deal with the mess they made of this society (as shown by your Great Society chart); whether or not we can is going to be the challenge, because it appears increasingly that the Boomers don't want to let their antiquated ideas die.
We may be in for a lot more trouble than we think.

I predict history will forget the baby boomers, and unless our generation pulls of something here soon, we will be forgotten too.

And then Niro fiddling away.
