>>There are approximately 76 million Baby Boomers and they represent the single largest demographic group in existence today.

That is exactly the problem. They didn't have enough of us, their children. Instead, too many of them were so self-absorbed they wanted the ability to abort any inconvenient children. (Present company excepted, of course)

Self Absorbed? for all the bad you think came out of the BABY BOOMER GENERATION, you should know that you have also reaped some great things from this generation.

Think of the women from the Post World War 11 group, many many were in horrible abusive relationships, they were married at 18 had 4 or 5 children, had no way of supporting themselves.

When Baby Boomers especially the girls graduated from High School they wanted options relating to work marraige and family, many did not want to marry at 18 and have children before age 23.

Yes some took it to far and maybe put Career over Family but many did not.

Many 60's TV sitcoms like JULIA, THAT GIRL, MARY TYLER MOORE showed women out on there own working as a single girl or a single mother having a fun filled independent life.

The realization was FAMILIES were not like *The Beaver*, Father Knows Best, Ozzie and Harriett, many families were plagued by Alcoholism, Physical Sexual and Mental abuse, we just did not hear about it because it was totally swept under the rug.

What legacy will Gen X'ers leave the rest of the world that comes behind them?????
