I’m at the tail end of the boomer generation (born 1963) and frankly they embarress me as well! I have faith that like all things, the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction, but we’ll have to get through this mess first!
I know that demographically, you’re lumped in with the boomers, but I’ve never seen anybody born after about 1958 or so as being a “real” boomer. You don’t remember the Kennedy murder, weren’t anywhere near “the summer of love” or Woodstock or anything like that and your coming-of-age years were in the late 70s and early 80s. Quite a different profile from the standard image of the boomer.
Boomers aren’t the problem. Liberal Boomers are the problem. I wish a lot of FR folks would get that straight and stop bashing ALL of my generation.
