[a fool in paradise]

You are the one spinning Boomers as not reaching adulthood into 1984. Gen-X was already reaching adulthood then.

You spin that the Baby Boom lasted until December 1964. I’ve heard it reported as 1962 since 1992.

Buh Bye from one of Gen-Reagan.

Here is what I said, I was not saying that none of them became adults until 1984, I was trying to say that the generation was emerging into power and it's place in society and leadership, although many did literally reach adulthood under Reagan.

“Ronald Reagan was the first president that all the boomers could vote for, that was the in 1984 election, he was their president as they were emerging into society and adulthood they were the last great military generation, their service approaches 10,000,000, boomers filled his military ranks, it was boomers that filled the ranks of the Airborne Rangers parachuting in to take Grenada. In 1980, boomers filled all of the colleges.

In 1980 boomers ranged from age 15 to 34, still too young to be leading America, but during the next 8 years they would start making their way into leadership as management, congressmen, administrators, judges, Mayors and so on, which is the natural emergence of a generation as it starts taking over the reigns of power and leadership.

The boomers today are the generation being replaced, since they are at the natural prime of true power, age 47-66.
They are well on their way to being replaced by the generation that followed them, like the 41 year old Paul Ryan.”
