Well said. Unfortunately each new generation does this and thinks they are on to something new. The inherent imperfection of mankind assures this. I guess its just a stage...a learning process each generation goes thru.

No, To quote previously

"This anger towards the baby boomers is different from the past. In the past previous hostility between generations usually faded away as the younger generation matured. In today's case, I see the opposite happening with hostility toward the older baby boomers growing as the X & Ys age. The reason is because we have been propagandized during school and in the media on how great the 60s were and how enlightened the baby boomers are and it's not until we age that we start to see the damage to this country they and their "good intentions" have done. They are in power now and I feel in order to go forward we have to break the "Myth" of the baby boomers which would help in starting to get them out of power and undoing the damage they done."

With me it's not that I am a young whippersnapper complaining about the older generations because I have the up most respect for the WWII generation. Yes they weren't perfect and did start the ball rolling on these socialist programs and way of thinking but at least they did something like save the world from fascism and unlike the baby boomers they weren't actively working to undo all the institutions and the Constitution that made America great.

Here is one Baby Boomer I can respect take on your generation.

Click the audio link on the site (It takes about 1:50 before he gets into it), Even Rush in referring to the Baby Boomers calls them "A group I am ashamed to be a part of"

BTW. Baby Boomers shouldn't be the one to talk about not respecting the older generations since Baby Boomers even to this day have always thought of the WWII generation as a bunch of uneducated simpletons.

Thanks for speaking up. You have proven one of my points (at least to me). Once the Gen-Xers are fired up, they are going to move.

The difficulty might be in getting them pointed in a constructive direction. In fact, you guys will probably lay out your own path. By now you all should have a background in team building, diversity, and sensitivity skills sufficient to temper the more extreme tendencies of the age group.

"BTW. Baby Boomers shouldn't be the one to talk about not respecting the older generations since Baby Boomers even to this day have always thought of the WWII generation as a bunch of uneducated simpletons."

Sir/Ms/Ma'am...this statement is moronic. It undermines any desire you may have to engage in a logical and thoughtful dialogue.
