If the boomers are as determined to ignore the sewage they've left at the nation's doorstep as you, then they will have much more serious issues than I might have, in about 15-20 years. A generation growing senile while gorging itself at the public trough is going to be in for a rough fall when the money runs out. How many years past 2013 do you think this Ponzi scheme is going to hold up?

Moreover, the question of euthanasia will be raised, as it seems it is at least once a generation. With GenXers at the peak of their political power, and by that time a mature GenY generation with very similar, if not worse experience with family matters, the boomers will be in extremely poor position. Having brutally destroyed all respect for family ties most by their words and deeds, to whom will elderly boomers plead? To the GenXers and GenYers they use as pawns to indulge their narcissism?

It will be very difficult to make a credible moral case against euthanasia for the boomer generation, given the boomer generation's overwhelming support for AND practice of feticide, AND which dumped the problem for ending the holocaust on the next, AND which abhored the Word of God by which they would otherwise know that to murder is forbidden.

Since you're so into issues, why don't you work out the issue of why boomers are so scared of God that they won't even tell their children that God forbids them to murder? Is this rampant deiophobia indicative of some deep psychological urge to self-actualize their own mortality?

Of course you had no idea. It is not in your nature to take into account anything but your own self - this is the defining trait of the boomer generation.

I, on the other hand, know quite well the psychology of boomer denial. What you don't seem to understand is that the world you take for granted - one in which human life is respected - is not the one you passed along. I have been giving you a heads-up on an inevitable and extremely rude awakening.

But of course it is not in your nature to even consider the possibility - the cargo-cult nature of the boomer-parented family simply doesn't permit it any more than it permitted a Pacific Islander to understand factories, airplanes and supply lines.

I *should* know better than to imagine you would react in any other way than you have, but if you've found your way to FR then the probability was greater than average that you'd get it. Hope you will before it's too late.
