you seem to want to knock those of a certain age and/or self denigrate. It seems that it is now fashionable in pseudo intellectual circles to use the term "Boomers" as a knock on everything about those of a certain age. I'm tired of this false notion being spread here and elsewhere that the people of that demographic have contributed little to nothing positive to society and are merely a big drain and are in the way. I will name just a few things that the Boomers like me brought about through our efforts. Civil rights legislation, voting rights legislation, environmental legislation, open expression, stopping the draft, ending the war in Vietnam and the list goes on and on. I'm sure you will find a way to brush aside these things and any others as insignificant (most likely as you stare at your phone) but what we did took the courage to face the certainty of beatings and death. The kids who fell at Kent State and Jackson State were Boomers. The kids in the streets of Chicago in 1968 trying to stop a war were Boomers. You may not like being one but I am proud to be from that generation warts and all because I remember how it was and what we went through to change it. As soon as you find that perfect generation that has no faults then you go join it because frankly I'm sick of thinking that you are part of mine.
