This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Boomers were hated by their elders for being too liberal and hated by their youngers for being to conservative.

They got more conservative as they got older. All those hippie kids who protested Vietnam and experimented with drugs and sex ended up voting for Reagan.

Are you saying they took what they wanted, then pulled the ladder up after them?

It sure seems like they feel that way about social security.

We paid into it, we should be able to get the benefits from it, just like any other American in any other generation.
