It was 'Boomers' who gutted out Vietnam while the nation - run by a previous generation you'd call the 'greatest' handed world history and domestic influence over to socialism.
It was 'Boomers' who elected Ronald Reagan and introduced 'Xers' to conservatism.
It was 'Boomers' who watched the social security and post war economic boom benefits their 'Greatest Generation' parents enjoyed morph into 401Ks and personal responsibility - while corporations simply deleted benefits originally contracted for and the economic benefits shifted away from production (real goods) into PC and non value added pastimes.
It was 'Boomers' who sent your ass to college instead of trade school.

Actually, I'm quite happy with my life, just concerned at the direction the country, now firmly in the grasp of Boomers, seems to be headed. You can't keep blaming every problem in this country on previous generations, though they played a part. The Boomer generation is large enough that the good ones should be able to cancel out much of the bad ideas of the bad ones. But that doesn't seem to be happening. Why is that?
