I think that this screed blames a whole demographic for the acts of a few of its members and many of its predecessors. It's like blaming the pistil and stamen of a flower for the deeds of the whole plant.

There were plenty of boomers who were conservative, despised the hole hippie - yippie thing, fought for their country, and tried to carry forward the principles of this nation.

And there were plenty of people born before the boomer generation who were happy to see the flowering of the seed they and their predecessors sowed.

Don't forget all the fellow travellers, the Reds of the thirties and forties, and before them the eugenicists and "scientific" types who viewed matrimony as a lingering remnant of an archaic religion.

Yeah, I'm a booomer.

Excellent points. Thanks for making the point about the eugenics movement.

Two other big non-boomer losers I can think of are Madeline Murray O’Hare (hater of God and prayer) and Margaret Sanger (hater of Blacks and pro-death Planned Parenthood pioneer).

If it doesn’t describe you then it doesn’t apply to you. Can we put the genie back in the bottle? Does anything ever get better?

Or was Yeats right, “Things fall apart”?
