And you know what? Just like the Boomers, you're going to become your parents, and discover that everybody has it tough, and mostly it's tough in exactly the same ways and it has been since we were all wearing bearskins.
......with one major difference, Bill. If these kids are acting like this on this forum, it's being talked about at home, in front of THEIR children.
Their children are being raised to absolutely NOT respect their elders. This is going to backfire, big time. And that's sad, cuz they're hurting those precious little lives.
I can't FATHOM my parents talking about their parents...as is EACH TIME one of these threads is put up.
I will never become my parents. My parents are highchair tyrants, constantly seeking self actualization, and so bought into secular humanism and moral relativism that all I can do is pray for their souls. I have so much more that matters, and so much more real wisdom than they ever can hope to have. I am not exactly young - I am arguably a "tweener" (but one who played a very direct role in the initial formation of early Gen X cultural trends) and have now lived long enough to evaluate myself Vs my parents coldly, logically and compassionately. The harm done by the Boomers, not to mention certain of the tail end of the Silents, to this country and to Western Civilization, shall take many decades to heal. To be fair, the Boomers are not the villians. They were conned, duped and destroyed by utopian intellectuals, Communists and other vermin, who specifically targetted them for such operations, as a means of undermining Western society. It almost worked.
