BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ELDERS: They truly are the greatest. Beat the Nazis, raised traditional families, built the country. Way to go, Gramps!
WE’RE NOT WORTHY: All this WWII worship is just a symptom of boomer self-loathing. Boomers couldn’t even stay married, nevermind win a war. First boomer prez? A cad. No wonder Spielberg and Brokaw have geezer envy.
ONE GENERATION’S GOOD AS THE NEXT: Boomers shouldn’t fret: any gen thrown into WWII would have done the right thing. Plus, segregation? McCarthyism? Not much great about that. You suck, Gramps!
WHAT ABOUT POOR, ALIENATED GEN X-ERS? Remember when those whiny slackers had no future? Remember McJobs? No dude, I’m too busy counting my Internet stock options. And angling for your job, Gramps.
WHATEVS! IT’S ALL ABOUT GEN Y! The boomer echo (born after 1980) is the largest gen ever, and their boomer parents spoil them. With all that spending cash, what they say goes. Hence ““Dawson’s Creek.’’ Can’t wait till they can vote.
