Quick read explaining how the Baby Boomers are killing America

Great way to prove yourself wrong. Try reading the comments, it saved me time from reading the entire article and actually proving you wrong once again.

Here, I'll quote them out for you.

The reality is this: the Boomers since the Vietnam War have been an evenly divided and very polarized generation, probably comparable to the post-Civil War generation.

Still of swallowing the media fed junk thought you have digested, use your brains! Research. Extremely few Boomers were real hippies. And how many Boomers volunteered â€” percentage wise much more than WW II volunteered for their war â€” and fought in Vietnam?

All of these facts are easy to find. As I said, what a bunch of morons.

You are over-exaggerating the amount of baby boomers that were drug users. Just like I said in my previous post.

Look closer at your American history, dude, and you will find that most of the â€˜character faultsâ€™ you attribute to the baby boomers have been here all along, from the triangular trade of sugar, rum and slaves that built the first American fortunes to the hard-cider swilling farmers of the 1850′s and the roadrunning moonshiners of the early-mid 20th century. Boomers didnâ€™t invent greed, fraud, indolence, or hypocrisy. Have you read Tom Sawyer? For every by-the-book Calvinist in this country, there has always been a scalawag.

This article is only a one-sided view of what my boomer generation has brought to this nation and the world. We were originally very concerned about peace, the impact of our war effort on other nations (the people), being more conscious of the destruction of the planet and its limited resources, and the coming together of like minds to create a new paradigm. We sought more liberties and fairness in the workplace, for women, for children, and everyone in general. Unfortunately, there were also many of my generation that actively worked against those goals, with only their own self-interests in mind.

So, you cannot arbitrarily blame my generation en masse for the destruction that was caused by some people of that period. I raised my children to respect and abide by the law, to think independently, to work hard to attain and achieve their goals, to help others who were not as fortunate and also, to see the world and their actions in it as conscious, responsible global citizens.

So, in response to your article, I cannot disagree with you more. Each generation has both people who create and others who destroy. You only have to look back in history to get a view of other civilizations who had the same issues as today. Please do not blame my generation as we also created a lot of good outcomes.
