God bless you, I have more in common with Gen-X than my own.

The boomer generation cut-off should be 1959, not 1965. Then the next Generation should start in 1985.

I know very few Boomers who plan to be self supporting in retirement. Most of them are on the government teat, in one form or another and scream like a liberal when I tell them Social Security should be scrapped.

By the way my wife and I do give our kids a two parent family, and we are VERY anti- baby murder.

I agree. While I had some experience with classic 70s Heavy Metal as a teen, I had no exposure to the true 1960s culture. When punk and new wave arrived, that was what I did. I love 80s music, that is my "nostalgia music." I have far more in common with people 5 years or more younger than me than I do with people 5 or more years older than me. I was born in '62.

One thing us Gen-X'ers know is to NOT rely on SS for retirement. I seriously doubt the government is going to be sending me a monthly check at any time in my life. But, that is probably a good thing, I will have to do it on my own, even though it really upsets me when I look at what I have paid into SS.

Also, I just want to be clear that I know not every Baby Boomer was a radical and many did well is raising their families and that many did serve this country and for that I am thankful.

But we all must admit one thing, when history is written, as it has been, the 60's will be remembered for sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll....is that really a good legacy?
