First, I am somewhat surprised and glad to see such a large number of self-professed 'Gen-X' posters here on Free Republic. I am glad it not all of us 50+ folks.
Next, I am truly saddened by the bitterness and hate being expressed by the self-professed "Gen-X" group towards what are their 'parental figures', the "Boomer Generation." Having lived thru the 50's & 60's it is eerily reminiscent of the intra-family fueds that occurred then.
Since I was born in 1950 I guess I am on the Boomer side of the coin. Hell, we have done a few things right. The sun still comes up and sets each day...so far. IMHO you should realize how petty your complaints are. You are damn fortunate you to be born and alive here in America. You quibbles are small compared to those in other countries.
And one more thing..."We were landless peasants once,..." <~~~~~Whats this all about?
