Gen X Plus 15 Is Like, Rich, But Reality Still Bites, Bro

How can that be, when the Boomers STILL haven't become adults?

Would that be just the men that fought in Vietnam or the Bill Clinton and George W Bush that didn't, or all of them, Patriotic1?

That was one real cultural problem with the onset of leftism in the 70's - every political grievance was couched in terms of an oppressed class to whom the world owed something, hence the proliferation of the misnomer "liberation" and the sense that eternal class enmity was the only political force worth cultivating.

Indeed.... My mom turned into one of those and left me and pa when I was 12--that happened to a helluva lot of us 'Gen-Xers'.

That's the root of a lot of my antipathy towards them:

The same rotten women who spun my mom up and got her to leave her family 'to find herself' are now crapping on me for being in the Army. The same ponytailed wierdos that my mom left my Korean-vet dad for are now my bosses who call me 'slacker'.

And I'll be paying for their retirement because they were too busy spending the divorce settlements on fun!

God Damn them. Damn them to hell: My experience is by no means unique....

You, of course, are excepted from these anti-boomer diatribes. I've always enjoyed your posts--especially the first-hand ones about the WTO riots in Seattle....

But more likely, they will run most companies into the ground before then. Or at least, most American companies. Then it's time to be bought out by a foreign firm or simply shut the doors. Parle Voux Frances? Sprechen Sie Deutch? LOL ....
