The boomers have destroyed (in my lifetime) the family, marriage, sex, objectivity, morality, piety, a sense of shame, privacy, community, personal responsibility and the economy. Is there anything left the eternal adolescents wont destroy?

If you knew any real history you'd know that most of the changes you decry were instituted by the Greatest Generation and the Korean era generation, and NOT by boomers.

Most changes began before most boomers could even vote. They were simply in their youth as the GG began changing many traditions and institutions. Boomers were never in most positions of authority until the mid-'80s to the early '90s. The changes had been taking place long before then.

SCOTUS handed down the Rowe vs. Wade in 1973. How did the boomer SCOTUS justices vote on that? How many voted for the War on Poverty in 1965? That's when much of the deterioration began. The oldest boomers were 20 in 1965.

Blaming boomers for all the changes you list is like blaming today's teenagers and college kids for tattoos, Obamacare and the financial crisis.

The Great Society policies of the greatest generation were done during the height of US prosperity and power. The failure of these policies were not seen until the next generation who chose to expand and perpetuate those policies. It was the Boomers that made drug use, promiscuity, divorce, co-habitation, single parenthood socially acceptable and gave us the “Me Generation” of the 80’s.

“The Immigration Reform Act of 1965 brought in multitudes of unskilled Democrat voters from third world countries.”

You all realize, of course, that none of the generations after the GG repealed any of this stuff. There is just as much, if not more blame, that should go on the generations after the GG since AFTER 1965 is when everything got out of control. Although it is true that the GG gave us Social Security and Medicare, the GG Social Security and Medicare only cost $165.00 a year as a maximum. It was today’s generation that increased SS from $165.00 a year to $16,000.00 a year.

Every generation who does not repeal all those bad Democratic programs, are to blame.
