In recent years, now that the boomers have finally gotten old enough to take the reins of power from the previous generations they have led the country to the right.

The great destructive acts that brought down America like the 60s legislation and the immigration act of 1965, etc, etc, etc, and the years from the 30s to the 90s were not the boomers.

A generation doesn't start running a country until they start hitting their 50s.

In 1996 the oldest boomer turned 50, the youngest one turned 32.

In 1970 when the sixties were over the boomers ranged in age from from 6 to 24, think about it folks, then ask yourselves why you bought this bill of goods.

The deep thinkers who are "picking up the pieces" from the boomers haven't figured out the things you pointed out yet.

After they get through, they can return to saving humanity from the "60 something" hippies.

That's right. In 1970 the oldest boomer was 24 and the youngest was 6 years old. In 1960 the oldest was 14 and the youngest hadn't even been born yet. Still, Boomers are blamed for everything that went on in the sixties and seventies. If you go back and look at who the "counterculture" leaders and popular thinkers were of that era, you'd see that almost every single one of them was born prior to the Baby Boom years. Boomers were just a bunch of kids who joined the party their elders started. Look at Woodstock, almost all the rockers on the stage were born before the Baby Boom. Timothy Leary was born in the 1920's. Abbie Hoffman was born in the 1930's. The Beatles were all born prior to 1946. The Boomers get a bad rap because there are a lot of people out there just have some pathological need to blame all our problems on some group of people.

Me, I was born in 1965. Those Baby Boomers born in 1964 weren't any worse than those of us born in 1965. A good number of my senior class in high school were Baby Boomers and they were no different than the Gen X'rs in the class.
