I'm a Gen Xer, and I really wish I could watch television for ten minutes without seeing a commericial of some aging Boomer flacking an erection pill.
Nothing in my lifetime has been as destructive as drugs.
I know of a number of families where the Boomers and their offspring (because of Boomers' drug use) have a lower standard of living than their parents of the Greatest Generation.
I thought that No Country for Old Men was absolutely on the mark, as to the effects of drug use on this country.
Those old law enforcement characters of the GG were baffled at the viciousness and destruction that the drug epidemic engendered, and the high-stakes crime that it precipitated.
You cannot know how much this country has changed because of drug use if you were younger than the Boomers.
We left a mess.
