I am sick and tired of the baby boomers.

Group attributes are what we're talking about here, not individual ones. Do try to keep up.

Boomer here: My parents, middle class, had a much higher standard of living than we do (1950s and 60s) Dad worked 9-5 with full benefits, retired with a large pension and put 4 kids thru college. House paid off at age 42. Mom never worked. Retired. That was the golden age of the middle class. Even people who are in their mid 60s now benefited from that. Now the upper and lower class have benefited, while the middle class life styles goes steadily down. The boomers did not cause it, but the whole country stood by and let the life style drift away. One of the great things we did -- and you contributed -- is stand by and let minorities take the good jobs -- both the easy, the state and the high paying. So the next time you step aside for a minority or recently arrived emigrant, its only your life style you are giving up.

Now that's just silly. Honestly.

That what I mean sheaple unite. Honestly.

I would work on your math skills before worrying about which group you fall into.

You Gen X'ers and Millenials are funny. Do you really think it's possible to generalize about a group of adults ranging in current age from 51-almost 70 years? I was born in 1961 and certainly don't remember where I was when JFK was shot, nor do I worship at the alter of the Beatles. Boomers are not all the same, anymore than your cohorts are monolithic.

Grow up already. No generation is perfect, and none should be villified either. There are simply different challenges and advantages that shaped the Boomers -- no better or worse than those that will shape your generation. And eventually, every generation gets old, is blamed for the world's problems, and then dies. It will be the same for you all.

Um, I would work on your reading comprehension skills before you worry about someone else's math skills. In 2011, when this individual posted, the math was done correctly. Sarcasm fail, my friend.

I was hearing Bell Biv Devoe's "Wishing Well" in Starbucks. I commented to the older gentleman behind me that I never thought the music of my youth would one day become inoffensive background music.

Wasn't that Terrence Trent D'Arby?!

And, yes, there's nothing quite so disconcerting as hearing The Cure blaring from the Safeway speakers as you ponder the difference between High Fiber and Regular instant oatmeal...
