“Hey Generation Boomer, what was that about the whole ‘tune in drop out generation?
At least we’re working and we aren’t out promoting the counterculture or whatever such nonsense. What, have you finally found yourselves?”
The hippie freaks were only a small but vocal minority of Boomers. The vast majority were like myself, who served our country in time of war, went to college on the GI Bill, got good paying jobs, got married and raised families, paid our taxes, obeyed the laws, voted Republican, saved wisely and retired early.

Doubtful. Just as many boomers voted for Obama as for McCain. If these folks were a vocal minority, he never would have got elected.
It’s clear to me that while some boomers are hardworking decent folks, that doesn’t apply to all of them or even a majority, sadly. This is why this nation is falling apart.
Boomers had their chance. Time to look past to see what someone else can do. Hopefully, much better.
