I'm a baby boomer and I think we have been a spectacular failure as a “generation.” It started with Vietnam and has continued throughout our lives. With a few notable exceptions we are the most self centered whinny incompetent generation in American history.
Our generation has failed to produce a single political leader we have only produced incompetent politicians of both parties. We squandered the wealth of industrialized America and instead of leaving a future for our kids and grand kids we have left them a pile of debt and no job.
I am confident that America will barely survive our generation but survive it will....
The only lasting positive contribution I can see this generation making is to show the subsequent generations how its not done..
The sooner our influence is gone from American life the better but unfortunately we will be here another 40 or 50 years.
I come to FR and find it useful because as with all broad generalizations there are some “boomers” here that have bucked the generation all their live and actually have contributed to American life...

Do not give up. You never know, there may be a good, conservative baby boomer out there that has learned from its mistakes.
