All that the Boomers ever did for me was make the '70s atrocious to live through, make me watch "The Big Chill" in class and sing "All we are saying is give peace a chance" IN CHURCH (!!!), and then the same crowd that disavowed corporate America in the 1960's and '70s were hogging all the jobs just as I was getting out of college and looking for one. And then, they had the audacity to call me a SLACKER!!!
PS: They also earned me detention by filling my Elementary School English and "Reading" textbooks with stories by African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans, who seemed incapable of writing about anything BUT BEING African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. I DARED TO ASK my Boomer Teacher why these writers were incapable of writing about anything but one issue, and I got detention.
But I thought we were whiners AND slackers? Isn't that what someone on the Gen-Reagan thread called us? Or more accurately 'most' of us are whiners, if I remember correctly.
The Boomers have me half convinced that there was no band before or after the Beatles.
