This is almost so out there, it almost has to be satire... Or maybe not. Imagine a world without teenagers. Who invented the phenomenon? We did. The adolescent baby boomers were the social malcontents of the 50s who cut loose from the oppressive ruck and insisted on being recognised as individuals with a right to be listened to, marketed to and feared by a conservative Yesterday because we were Tomorrow - our own tomorrow, and yours.

B.S. How about the flappers in the 1920s. How about all the people then who defied prohibition to get a drink.

And that bit about individuals with a right to be listened to? Does the phrase, "Founding fathers" ring a bell. Well, the author is Australian, so maybe not.

But of all the laughable bits, is the suggestion that Boomers invented tantric sex. Honey, tantric sex was invented by Buddhists in India, no later than the 16th century.

Of course the Boomers seem to think they invented Sex...

And were too stoned to patent it. Another example of fiscal mismanagement.

Being 50, I am stuck with being a boomer. Over the years, I have noticed that the left wing scumbag hippies of my youth are by far the greediest, most crooked businessmen in their hippie afterlife.
