Ah, the boomer generation.

The generation that received the “better life” our folks worked and fought for — and then, as a group, squandered it. Turned away from God, (worse) turned our CHILDREN away from God, squandered the blessings of liberty and freedom our parents gave us and taught our children to squander them too.

I’d grade us an “S”. It can stand for “we Suck”, “Spoiled”, “Spendthrift”, “Secular”, “Stupid”, “Shortsighted”, your pick.

And, yes, I’m right smack in the middle of that very UN-greatest generation.

Please don’t take my rant personally — of course I’m generalizing. Like a lot of freepers I’m trying hard NOT to fit the mold. But I can’t deny that my generation as a group lacked the character and wisdom of the one that came before.

Hell, looking at your page, you never even drove a couple of hundred miles east to see the deepest of the deep south....you coulda had a downright impressive "been there" map, but you get a big FAIL in this regard!

Tweak alert PS to Graybeard....Wednesday the 24th marks the first nip o' the teat for this shameless Boomer. Wifey gets her first suckle two weeks later.

We're gonna celebrate with Moon Pies and RC Cola, all compliments of the X'ers Y'ers and the grandkids. Drinks all around...
