“The Greatest Generation gave birth to and raised the Most Selfish Generation.”

Amen to that. I was born in 1946 and now recognize even more strongly that they were truly The Greatest Generation, and my generation was not in many ways worthy of them as parents. - I woke up and realized it sooner rather than later (a famous Clinton mouthing), but a large number of leftists are still stuck in the old hippie in the designer suit rut and have never yet faced the truth of how selfish and spoiled they really are. We were just lucky that they didn’t put us in a weighted towsack and drown us at some points along the way. I outgrew it pretty quick, but not fast enough - was too busy taking care of a family to smoke dope and *march* in those days of the hippies’ LSD dreams, but gave my GG parents too many problems they didn’t deserve along the way - thankfully, tried my best to make up for it early on.

How many of the "most selfish generation" went to Viet Nam when their country drafted them? How many of the "most selfish generation" went to college and didn't have a rich Mommy & Daddy to foot the bills so they could protest? How many of the "most selfish generation" held a steady full time job right after high school? How many of the "most selfish generation" raised this generation's men & women that are bravely serving their country now?

As now as then, the "loud" few represents the majority.
