Dennis Peterson and his daughter, Dee Ann Haibeck, are boomer bookends, born Jan. 1, 1946, and Oct. 28, 1964. Peterson of Bellevue, Wash., says people from his era "opened the door for a lot of discussions America hadn't been having" - about such divisive matters as race, women's rights, the Vietnam War. He says those of his daughter's era "didn't have the testosterone to get involved in social issues. I don't think they had our sense of responsibility."

Here's a perfect example of why I loathe the Baby Boomers. So full of themselves, so self-righteous, so arrogant and condescending. And of course, the irony is that for all of their talk, they are the most selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed, self-important bunch of brats the world has ever seen.

I wish the entire pack of pompous, spoiled jack@sses would go save someone else's world and leave us and ours alone. I'm a 37-year old Gen X'er, and am more than a little tired of the Boomers telling me and everyone else how awful we are, how much we don't care as much as they do about whatever, and of the Boomers trying to tell everyone else what they should and shouldn't say or do.
