If this doesn’t describe you then it doesn’t apply to you.

Our current state of affairs is only the latest symptom of a deeper problem that has roots in our culture and institutions and our attitudes towards them.

You can fix the banking industry, but how do you fix a society?

Stereotyping and generalizations about a particular age group, and trying to put blame on that group is a lazy way to frame a question. It indicates shallow thinking.

I suggest the problems we now face has been in the making for a long time. From Marx and Engels, through our own Lost Generation of the 20's and 30's, up until the overwhelming relativism of the youngest generation coming into its own today. It won't all go away when us "boomers" ride off into the sunset. I'll say it again, don't paint with so broad a brush.

“If this doesn’t describe you then it doesn’t apply to you.”

Your diatribe painted all boomers with the same brush, so don’t give me that. Why don’t you search for one of the many other boomer bashing threads on FR and tack your whiny little comments on them?
