[quote=Anonymous]PP - my parents aren't boomers - they were born in '38 and '42. My mom's younger brothers are CLASSIC boomers, however.

And to this PP...

[quote]Don't be ridiculous. Elections in the United States are pretty much a pure expression of the Id of Baby Boomers. This will be even more true over the next 10-20 years because the retired and elderly vote in even greater numbers than the population as a whole. Finally, when they're dead at the end of that period, our politics will hopefully go through an evolutionary leap.

Of course Baby Boomers aren't to blame for their raw numbers, but whether they're to blame for their epic narcissism and complacency is an open question. Pretty much at every single stage of their lives: whether they were fighting so that only the poor and minorities would be drafted in their teens in the late 60s, or fighting for consequence-free andro-centric sex in their twenties in the 70s, or the elevation of greed to a religion in their thirties in the 80s, or their efforts to pervert Chrstianity into some sort of right-wing self-help parody of itself in their forties in the 90s, to the Teabagging support of the security state in the 2000s, it's one long cluster-fuck that they should rightly be held to account for. The sooner they're off booed off the stage, the better for each of us, for our country, and for the world at large.

Like so often happens in literature, the Greatest Generation gave birth to a prodigal son, and there's no sign of the wisdom that comes with age. [/quote]
