I am a boomer.

I do not appreciate comments which lump me in with trust fund babies.

You, my dear, are a minority. :)

Looking back on what I said, I realize that it may seem I was talking about the entire generation. That wasn't was meant; merely most of it.

How does it make you feel to see most of your generation act like spoiled brats?

I have not seen most of my generation act like spoiled brats. I have done a lot of traveling across the USA, and lived in 5 different towns. The people I have known and met all have quite similar stories.

There are thousands of small rural towns across America who have millions of people of my generation who are just as hard working as anyone.

Of course there is no way to know it unless you lived it, because the media has perpetuated the myth that we were all just a bunch of draft-dodging, pot smoking, flower children.
We were not. We were just as dismayed by the flaming radicals of our generation as we are by the crap on TV today.

There are radicals today that are much more dangerous than the ones in my day, Obama is an example-so smooth talking, sounding so reasonable, being promoted by the media. Is the current generation all a bunch of left wing radicals? How could someone like this even be nominated?

It is wrong to blame a whole generation for the actions of radicals. People of my generation volunteered or were drafted to serve in Vietnam. Most of them went. They came back to be more mistreated than any other generation of military heroes. Yet they still love their country-remember the swift boat veterans? They were not the exception-they were the rule.
