[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hate the boomers.  I am disappointed that we've gotten our country into such a mess.  I'm worried about the environment, rising cancer rates, global warming, offshoring of jobs, these endless wars in the Middle East,  a shrinking middle class....  We've spent too long helping the 1% get richer.  I don't understand why the boomers didn't do more to correct these problems, sooner.

Basically I resent all the problems that you will leave behind when you die, and we all have to clean up the mess, and our kids had to wallow in it.

Such nonsense.  The boomers helped create the conditions that leave most of the "poor" in this country with an enviable standard of living, complete with TV, cable, A/C, and all types of consumer electronics. [/quote]

Now THAT's nonsense.  Cell phones and refrigerators somehow make up for water we can't drink?  All of our jobs going to India?  Half the moms I know getting breast cancer at 45?  A war in Iraq that's been going on for as long as my oldest child has been alive?  College tuition becoming either out of reach or a life long debt that our kids can never surmount?

Does it make you feel better to think the poor in this country have cable TV???  See, that is EXACTLY what is wrong with boomers.  And then you wonder why the younger generation resents you.  Such materialism and condescension in one post![/quote]
