If the generation who grew up during the Great Depression, and then went on to fight World War II were the “Greatest Generation”, then it follows that there must have been a Worst Generation. I’d say that the Baby Boomers fit that description. They have ruined nearly everything.

IMO, the slide got a real push start with LBJ and the Great Society. The Boomers couldn't vote in 64. Even a lot of my generation, the Silent Generation couldn't. But some of us could in 68 and more in 72 and we all saw how that turned out. The GOP brought on its own defeat in 76, but I'm sure more than a handfull of Boomers voted for Reagan and Bush in 80, 84 and 88. By 92, enough people were POd at both parties that a damaged 3rd party candidate still managed to garner more than 17% of the vote...and, because no one in power paid attention, 12% in 96. Now add all the recent minority immigrants (thanks to the Reagan amnesty) into the mix and we have the squeakers of 00 and 04 and with the way they have multiplied, we arrive at today. So to say it is ALL the Boomers' fault is far from accurate.

Not all of us slick!
Some of us did the right things all along and we still got overwhelmed by the mob.

Pelican, you need to go stuff your beak with rotten fish! I'm proud to be a “Boomer” and the slackers and dopers, hippies and free love bums are NOT representative of my generation by any stretch. I served in Vietnam and while we can argue about whether it was a just war, 60,000+ good Americans gave their lives because our government told us to had to go and we did. And most of us who came back had served honorably, we picked up where we left off, got jobs, went to college, did something with our lives.

You X and Y and Millennial people had better get your houses in order before you point fingers at anyone else.

A strange bird; the pelican;
whose beak can hold more than it’s belly can.
Frankly; I don’t see how the hell he can!

No. I’d say it’s the present day generation that is just graduating.

A more superficial, vacuous self righteous and self satisfied generation you won’t find.
