And don't just blame a few liberal elitist boomers, It wasn't just liberal elitist boomers who had all those abortions, all those divorces, grabbed all those guns, Passed all those health/safety initiatives, Put their careers over their children and latch keyed them and ruined education. With a little exception it was the whole bunch of you.
But, while we made mistakes, we also pushed the envelope with successes in science, exploration, the environment, education, engineering, health, etc., etc
No you didn't, Like everything else the baby boomers have corrupted science for their own purposes. Instead of in the past where they came up with antibiotics and cures for things like Polio today we get useless junk like Global warming, How food from McDonalds is addicting, How smokers are more likely to allow their children to stand up in shopping carts, etc, etc. Not a day goes by that we aren't bombarded with more of these silly studies on how something innocent will harm/kill you and/or make you do bad things. In the past scientist worked on things for the future betterment of mankind, Today Baby Boomer scientist work on things for the future betterment of lawsuits and more regulations. If you baby boomers spent just 1/10 the resources you spent on your junk science on something meaningful we would probably already have a cure for cancer and cold fusion and much more by now.
As for the environment, Don't make me laugh. Baby Boomers are only for saving the Environment when it hurt a corporation or America. Which is why there hasn't been a new nuclear power plant build in the past 25 years and why there is all this protest against GMOs. As for those gadgets, Well it might have been the baby boomers, But not the ones in America but the ones in Japan and Korea(if they have such a designation) that came up with them. When's the last time a TV has been made in the USA.
The internet, Well sorry that's ours. Computers and the internet have existed since the 60's but it wasn't until the new entrapanuer ial spirt of the Gen-Xers got a hold of them that they became what they are today. And it is this way by bringing computers and the internet into mainstream that Gen-X has already surpassed the Boomers (who have overall been a net drain on the country) in making positive contributions to United States and the world.
entrepreneurial spirit
I have no idea what happened there
