About this ebook
Ever feel like you're different? Perhaps you even feel like you're special. Are you out to save the world? Is your secret mission in life to help others?Meet the children of Generation Q. At first they had to be hidden because others were hunting for them, trying to eliminate them, before their specialness infected the world. For then it would be too late to mold the world according to the ideals of those who hunted these infants.What will it take for the world to accept these children who have now become adults? They look a little different from you and I. They act somewhat differently than you and I. And they definitely think very differently than any one of us. Should we fear them? Or should we accept their help and work with them to save the world? And what if, just when we're on the verge of accepting them, our worst, hidden fears come true? What if it's not we who are special? Rating PG13; Reading Level Easy 6th Grade; Longest Word: Evolutionarily

Generation Q - Dale Stubbart
Millennium Eve
... ... ... Dec 31st, 1999
... ... ... Times Square, New York
... ... ...
It’s thirty minutes till midnight and everybody’s counting down to the New Year and to the New Millennium. Some have argued that the new millennium won’t start for another year. But that doesn’t change the attitudes of enthusiasm and trepidation.
Show Host Dick Clark is here. He is leading the count down as always.
New York City Mayor Rudi Giuliani is also here.
And many other celebrities are here as well.
Many here and around the world are enthusiastic about the possibilities a new millennium will bring. Celebrations are being held around the world. But this one is the most widely televised.
Many others both here and around the world have trepidations about what the new millennium will bring. Or if there will even be one.
Most of the people in Times Square are enthusiastic. (Otherwise they wouldn’t be here amid all this celebration and high spirits).
Most of those with trepidations in the U.S. and in other First World countries are mostly worried about whether computers will work correctly tomorrow or not. And they’re mostly worried about whether their computer will work correctly tomorrow.
Others around the world, including some in the First World worry that there will be no tomorrow. Or they worry that some big catastrophe or war will start tomorrow.
And, as repulsive as it may seem to those celebrating here in Times Square tonight, there are others celebrating the coming of the New Millennium because some war will start tomorrow. And if it does, some prophecy will be fulfilled for them.
U.S. President Bill Clinton gave a speech about the New Year at the Washington Monument in the District of Columbia today.
Russia will have a new President next year. Today Boris Yeltsin resigned and appointed Vladimir Putin acting President.
We’ll have to wait until Russian elections in March to see whether Putin remains the President of Russia.
For some Russians, Putin is the herald of fear. For others, he is the herald of hope. But for most of them, there is no correlation between Putin and the New Millennium.
Several other countries will also have new leaders this year.
This will only be the year 2000 for Christians and for many governments.
For Jews it is the year 5760 and the ushering in of the Messianic age.
For Bahais it is the year 156.
In China it is the Year of the Dragon.
For Muslims it is the year 1421. For some Muslims, the world was supposed to end after the Muslim year 1400. That was their equivalent of what the Millennium is for some now.
It has been 8000 years since the Hindu Religion started with the writing of the Rigvedic mantras. Now most of their temples have been destroyed.
Depending on which Hindu calendar you use, it is either the year 2055 or 1920. (Some Sikh’s in India use the year 532).
According to another ancient Hindu calendar, the sixth millennium of the Kaliyuga era began 100 years ago. For them this is the world’s last millennium.
For Buddhists who have an equally old religion, it is the year 2542.
Japanese who do not follow the western calendar will have the choice of using three different years for this upcoming year. Their choice will depend on which emperor they prefer to start their calendar with.
So for those switching religions, the world may have already ended several times. But still it goes on.
Those born in the next generation, which starts in 2004, will be called Generation Z. The generations of this century were
the GI Generation – 1901-1924
the Silent Generation – 1925-1942
the Baby Boomers – 1946-1964
Generation X – 1961-1981 and
Generation Y – 1982-2003.
Those years are not fixed and people born in the last or first years of a generation may be of the next or previous generation, depending on their circumstances.
So some born next year will belong to Generation Z.
