I hear a lot of people talking about Yuppies in a general sense but rarely
mentioning anything particular.  It seems all we know about them is that
they buy Volvos, vote in their own best interests, and lack all historical
perspective.

But aside from supporting the Swedish auto industry and electing Ronald
Reagan, the the ways of the Yuppies are a mystery to many of us.

The interesting thing is that Yuppies are generally spoken of disparagingly
(on this net and elsewhere) but I never hear any Yuppies defending themselves.
This leads me to ask whether Yuppies really exist, or are they just another
media creation?

I don't know any Yuppies, and neither do any of my friends.  We have a guy
at work here who says he's a Yuppie but I think he's just kidding, and anyway
he only drives a Camaro.

Until I learn otherwise, I will continue to believe that they don't exist.
