Admittedly, what I said is a generality but if you look at the prepondance of the population of the boomers, the 50,000 you rightly defend are not part of the demographic currently dominating the impending financial doom the boomers will bring to the US Treasury.
There is virtually no way I can think of that the baby boomer generation can be considered anything BUT the most self-serving, selfish and irresponsible generation we have produced in the last century. On whole, what did they do? For every hero who gave their life in Vietnam or Korea, there were 5 to 10 here in the U.S. rallying with John F'ing Kerry and Jane Fonda against them and American values.
I harbor no ill will for any individual baby boomer I have ever met. And because you are in that demographic as a whole, I do not fault you as it is NOT your fault and I don't doubt that you have no contributed to the havoc they hath wrought on America. But it is not wrong to call a spade a spade. For any problem you can name in American culture, I will quickly provide for you the moorings in the baby boomer ethic. It is your children and mine who will be tasked with repairing the cultural and financial chasms created by the babyboomers. It is not a light matter for them and how they bear the burden I will grant them enormous latitude and forgive them publicly and privately for what they will be forced to impose on the elderly which were the baby boomers of today.

Oh, you mean like abortion, welfare, SSI itself....all of which were enacted before boomers were old enough to vote. Or maybe you mean the feminist movement, the founders of which are all pre-boomers.
You know little.
