(24,288 posts)Baby boomers.. I do not even know where to start listing all that we did to change the dynamics of this country..
And every generation blames the one behind it for being a lazy bum.. Being a baby boomer.. you should have read the crap that came down on our heads when we were 20 somethings.
Every generation has a job.. and they can accomplish so much.. and in the process other failures will be revealed..
The next generation picks up that mantle and does their job to try and move it along'
We early boomers are a war generation.. Every single male in my graduating class that could not get into college..went to Vietnam..
You can thank us for our generation for having the option to choose service.. or not.. but it is not forced servitude..
Voting rights..
Rights for all groups being addressed.
The burgeoning awareness of our planets needs..
On and on and on..
And each generation contributes to the betterment.. and some times we take steps back.. but then all pull together and go forward again.
There WILL NEVER BE A TIME.. that perfection is reached.. and ground in not lost that needs to be recovered..
But we are always making that next move forward.. through each generation addressing the needs they have at that time..and putting their stamp on their accomplishments or things they have done to take us forward..
