Guilty as charged: Civil Rights. Womens Rights. Supporting the aging "Greatest Generation" through SS. The Beatles. Mick Jagger. Bob Dylan. Space Exploration. Ending the Vietnam War. etc. etc. etc.
Someone called c-span this morning and said that we boomers are a selfish bunch. The trend is to frame us as you stated, "...got everything handed to us on a silver platter...". I think it's an effort to make those of us that have faith in the Social Security and who are unwilling to support Bush's privitization scheme look as if we are thinking only of ourselves and not of future generations. Of course, the opposite is true.
