Ah, the ignorance of children....that phrase was from a TV movie written by a guy who was nearly sixty at the time, a time when the oldest boomer wasn't out of his twenties.

Ah, the clever sophistry of old coots, the OP's point was the (supposed) endearing love of boomers to the previous generation.

No, the original post belongs to the DanRather school of subjective truth...'the documents were fake but accurate'. Using a TV movie come-on phrase written by a member of one generation to 'prove' the attitude of an entire different generation is lazy, dishonest and just stupid.

As for proof of the boomers endearing love for the previous generation, all I have to do is look to the dozen or so friends and cousins who long ago paid off their parents' mortgages. We did it for my widowed Mom fifteen years ago and then we bought her a new car (replaced twice since by siblings). Oh, and we did this while raising our own families. What have you done for the people who raised you to be such a whiner?
