Do you mean to say that there is no uniformly held set of beliefs and moral standards that we all ascribe to upon hitting 50? I'd swear the manual said something about achieving homogeneity by 35...or was that Logan's Run?

I think this may not be the right audience for polling the 20-30-something demographic.
