On the whole, I admire Gen X more than I admire the Baby Boomers. I think Gen X was handed a pretty rotten deal. I think the Baby Boom was handed a very sweet deal, and a lot of them (not all) just wasted the opportunity to build real value.

I admire neither the Baby-Boomers nor the Gen-Xers. What's to admire? Neither of those two generations did anything courageous, against all odds, for anything but selfish reasons (am not knocking selfishness, just saying that it doesn't earn my admiration).

Now the Greatest Generation (encompassing those who fought and won WW II) - that's another story. Though I will concede that they were only responding to a challenge - albeit a very dire challenge - while later generations pretty got most everything dropped in their laps.
