You both are stating that your parents generation made mistakes in raising your generation even though you're from different generations.

Perhaps this is a common ground between "boomers" and "Xers"

There are theories that the decline of the family was the result of the Industial Age. While some may think there are other reasons, it is interesting that the meaning of family seemed to have fallen during the Industial Age, while it is now recovering during the Information Age.

Every generation has its share of clymers. Bill Clinton was born in 1946. So was George W. Bush. Some folks grow up early, some grow up late, and some never grow up.

As I watch anti-war protests of today, I see people in their 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s, and teens. And last time I checked, Robert Byrd is not a boomer. But he is a clymer. Major league, at that!
