All I know is that half the boomers were nothing but spoiled brats, and still are today.
The other half won the Cold War, and sometimes died doing it.
History now judges both groups, as God does too.
Wow, well said!
They will go down in history as a "wicked and adulterous generation" . They expanded Social Security and are in the process of draining it dry; they expanded Medicare/Medicaid and are in the process of draining it dry ; they expanded union power and as a result manufacturing is done overseas instead of here. Etc. etc.
Amen, FRiend.

Ditto. What you said...
A dam good depression would do wonders.
How many do you think could survive picking beans and pickles for canning factories? How many could stoop that low and eat flour pudding at least five times a week. Most houses that people could afford to hold would become boarding houses to get just a tad more pennies to live on.
OH how my mom told of what they did to make it during that depression. She scrubbed floors, the boys quit school and helped cut fence posts in the swamps for half a penny each (they cut one hundred a day with a bow saw and double bit axe), picked blueberries, and on and on.
