I suggest the author read "The Culture of Narcissism" by Christopher Lasch, published 1979. Pretty much dissects the Boomers. (Yes, I am one.)

I imagine there are many in all generations. I visited my brother a few years ag(Baby Boomer) and noticed that his house was full of pictures of him and his wife and not one picture of their 2 children or 3 grandchildren. I always thought that they loved themselves more than anyone and that just cemented it in my mind.

I would think that it would be easier to be narcissistic if you hadn't had too many bumps on the road.

Unlike their parents and grandparents, "GenMes" have "never known a world that put duty before self,"

Greatest movie ever made about duty, honor, sacrifice and love of country.

It makes my eyes water up just thinking about it.

released 1944
