I wish him well, but as he heads off into old age I would be remiss if I did not note that he and his champions of eternal youth have for years denied old age its achievements, and now they will be living out an old age that they themselves have created -- an old age bereft of the respect old age once commanded. No one is likely to call Bill Clinton a wise old man. No one will note his dignity or sage advice.

Baby boomers do need to redeem themselves. No other generation has lauded itself more but left nothing as a legacy. Gee, that actually sums up the Klinton administration.

Agreed. here's why: the original poster said something like: " ...wonder how many generations it will take to clean up our generations mess.."

Well shouldn't they clean it up themselves!!?? At least try, jeez! Leaving it to the future generations is completely typical in its self-centeredness...and completely unacceptable. If that's what their attitude is going to be then they may face a destitute and bitter old-age.
