There was a great movie on YouTube about these two people who were on an escalator that stopped. They stood there hollering for help just like typical Lib’s .... they couldn’t figure out that all they had to do is just walk up the stopped escalator - they wanted someone to walk down to get them ....

That sounds like a commercial that was on during the Olympics.

The thing is, many *boomers* remember having to do without, unlike today's pampered kids.

We'll get by because of the skills we learned from our parents.

I am going to guess that you are a boomer. I already know you are a conservative from your past post in which you agreed with me on at least one issue, which makes you pretty darn smart!:)(little joke there). I am not a boomer, missed it by 4 years, I am a 1942 baby, born six weeks after Pearl, and I always thought my generation was just a little up on the average boomer. Most of us almost boomers were not hippies or anti-war. OTOH, lots of my friends who were boomers didn't come back from Viet Nam and they all volunteered, so we have conservative boomers and not so conservative boomers(Bill Ayers is a boomer for instance) just like every one else. As for me I especially like women boomers:)(and the women of the almost boomer generation also)
