Sacre Bleu! Thinking IS valued!
June 22nd, 2009Last Week, Galen Struwe – President of Struwe Desnous Imports and owner/operator of the Sacre Bleu blog finewhineblog.com reached out to me and asked if I’d be interested in answering a few questions for his blog. Galen was interested in exploring what he called my tendency to “surround your insights with a detached, academic kind of examination”.
Galen told me the Sacre Bleu blog is written with the millennial demographic in mind. Being older than this group, I suppose I have a limited understanding of what they are about. By numerous indications (which I am at a loss to cite at the moment), this group seems to value intellectualism and thinking. There is even a rise of something called called the “geek culture” reflected in TV programming.
How refreshing. Perhaps “Idiocracy” is not so much a prophecy as much as it is a cautionary tale being heeded by young people.
I’ll keep this short. You can read the whole interview here.

I fall under the Millennial category and you seem to do just fine with me. Us dang youth, valuing straight talk and higher thought.
