The Greatest Generation came home from war and gave birth to the Worst Generation (of which, I am ashamed to say, I am part)
I must rush to add in this -- I specifically said "Boomer generation" -- there are many who are of that generation (and I'm sure nearly all freepers of that generation) who did not participate in the free-for-all that we slam the boomer generation for
the Y and Z generations have their own issues and share some of the blame as well
