Baby boomers Ruined America: Why Blaming Millennials is Misguided — and Annoying

[whathehell]

95. Yeah, one of the younger ones...

I always thought categorizing people born within the time frame of 1945 to 1964 as being
in the same "generation" was a huge mistake -- That time frame SPANNED a generation, and the experiences, not only of those on either end of the spectrum, but those of even six years difference, were very different.

As to "who was running the country" in the 70's and 80's, of COURSE it wasn't the boomers -- Twenty Somethings rarely get to run countries -- What I said was that they made a big IMPACT on it, and yes, I'm speaking of the older boomers -- As mentioned, the time span given this generation was preposterously wide.

BTW, bitching about the way many of the WWII Vets viewed the Vietnam Vets doesn't
merit a particularly loud horn, either; they weren't perfect, and given that Vietnam
was our first large scale guerilla war and quite different from WWII, it's not suprising that they misunderstood it.

I don't need to "read" the history of that time, bro, I LIVED it -- Feel free to go back
to the Whine Fest.
