GORE PANDERING TO GENERATION X

One need only look at the current administration in Washington to see how
morality has declined in recent years.

We've seen how cheating on one's spouse, with subsequent lies and coverups,
is accepted by our culture. Now, even illicit drug use is evidently
something to be proud of as the democratic candidate boasts that he even
"smoked the herb" ("Gore speaks to young voters at MTV forum," Sept. 27).

Ironically, the music industry is the very group that Tipper Gore took on in
her much-publicized '80s crusade against rock music's negative effect on
young people.

How times have changed. As they pander to Generation X, they must think
their fellow baby boomers are already in the throes of dementia.
