The Boomer generation is also the Hippie Liberal Generation.
The generation, as a whole, cannot go away fast enough for me.

born in 61, I am not a boomer! My political views were shaped by President Reagan. That was well after the drug induced, anti military debacle of the 60's and 70's
I am a JONSER!
Take that boomer crap and st&^%$!

Your right about that, I'm glad I'm too old to be in that generation.

I am a part of the boomer generation and have had to endure all these years of the "me" generation crap. The most vocal part of the generation - as usual the libs - are the ones that we always see in the media protesting at some save the whales crap or Bush is bad rally. They are a bunch of sad, tired, old druggies that never grew up. The rest of us, working stiffs have had to put up with these cry babies for too many years. My message to those boomers - Shut-up, eat your tofu and go away!

I was born in '62. I had a flat-top in 1969. Used Lucky Tiger on my hair.
I will not be a "Selfish Senior."

Those people, through their service, exempted themselves from the Hippie Liberal Generation and deserve the highest honor this country can give them, as does everyone who serves honorably.
However, I'm sure you'll agree that the flower-power crew and the "leading lights" of the Boomer generation such as Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan continue to create problems and muck up this country all out of proportion to prior generations.

I thought the boomers started in 1943, not '46. My source for that is Strauss and Howe, "Generations".
Where does this guy get '46 as the start?

aging is just a changing of the arrangement of matter and our ability to rearrange matter is advancing very rapidly. Ray Kurzweil (see The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology) makes this argument with logarithmic charts and graphs showing continuing accelerations of CPU speeds, hard disk capacities, fiber optic bandwidths and other measures. Dude! If my CPU is fast enough, I won't age?? That is righteous!! When my foot's asleep, I usually "rearrange matter" to wake it up. So, like, maybe I'm ahead of the curve on this whole rejuvenation thing, ya know?
To: Neville72
AHHH YES, They can live longer on what they have not saved for retirement. Great idea. By the way I was born and 62 and resent being included with this group of collective idiots.

LOL! Geez, if I'd only had my oldest son in 1964 instead of 1966, we could have both been Baby Boomers.

In ancient China decadent aristocrats became obsessed with the search for the elixer vitae, the concoction which granted perpetual youth. They became easy prey for scam artists and charlatans, squandering personal and family fortunes on bizarre and ineffective "cures." To answer the question "Is indefinite life extension possible?" many quaffed bizarre concoctions, failing to answer the question but receiving a fast answer to another, specifically, "Is there life after death?" Of course, these were only old time Chinese. We Boomers are far more sophisticated and intelligent.

Thanks for wishing my life away for me.

feeling a bit creaky myself....don't need the reminder.
Hey millions of us who were a bit freaky in the late 60's early 70's, took a long hard look at who we were and what the world and country needed and voted for Reagan in 80 and 84 and continue on to this day in the conservative and/or libertarian (small L) mold.
