Anybody want a hit?

That ain't the only thing you didn't realize.

Maybe when you grow up you will.

The nations comptroller is full on nonsensical drivel? Well, I guess you are free to believe that. I hope the boomers don't leave us in worse fiscal shape than when they took charge. But their history would dictate that that is exactly what they will do.

God bless you.

You are one of the great ones.

And you are a conservative.

[Protagoras]

The deep thinkers who are "picking up the pieces" from the boomers haven't figured out the things you pointed out yet.

After they get through, they can return to saving humanity from the "60 something" hippies.

Nice, Decent People. Nurse. RN. Dad owns a construction outfit. White bread Camarillo, California. Money. Good school. Clothes. Advantages. Loving parents/family. Siblings.

[Protagoras]

Maybe they will invent some "growup" medicine before they die so you X'ers can figure stuff out.

But your self indulgent history would dictate that you won't take it.

I hope you are in charge soon, while you still know everything.

[yellowdoghunter]

Please know that we realize it....we just hope to leave our children a better America than when we do eventually get it. However, I guess that won't be too hard after the Baby boomers get done with it.

OK everyone, I apologize to all

The Baby Boomer generation has been great and this country has moved steadily in the right direction with them as steward.

[yellowdoghunter]

We could never do worse than the Boomers....never. The X'ers are the first generation to grow up with divorce, abortion, no school prayer, the list goes on and on.....maybe you boomers can turn it around but time is not on your side.

[yellowdoghunter]

Than what we inherited...when we do eventually get it.

[Protagoras]

Every generation blames every other generation. That remains true no matter whether the children figure it out now or later.

Now, run along and play "pick up the pieces".

[yellowdoghunter]

Only a boomer would mock a generation that is trying to put the pieces of the family back together. Typical. I am just fortunate that I am not a boomer and don't have to carry that weight around my shoulders.

Don't make a different mistake to replace the one you just corrected.

They have undone most of the good work of their parents, the amazing WW2 generation.

Like what? Abortion 'rights'? The welfare debacle? The immigration mess? The lessening of cultural values via Hollywood? Those things?

Can't be because you know of course that all of these are highlights of the 'greatest generation' years in control.

It is the irony of ironies that America's Greatest generation begat it's worst....

[yellowdoghunter]

I can't make out those pictures, but I will say that they are just a product of their environment. When you come from divorced, drugged-up parents, etc....that is usually what you get.

The baby boomers, for the most part, had stable, loving homes. Gen-X'ers can't say the same. The baby boomers may have screwed things up so bad that there is no fixing it, time will tell.

Now don't you have free medicine to take that the Gen-X'ers are paying for? or free MediCare or something free?

[npg]

you're right

I just wish our country had the will and resolve to confront evil and endure tough times like they did.

[npg]

yes, they were maybe America's worst parents
