From my perspective, the baby boomers are the most selfish, me-first generation I have ever seen. From their days as hippies and Woodstock through today, they have been consistently the most egocentric people I think America has ever had. Every decision they have made as a group, from education to abortion to foreign policy has always been based on what makes them feel good. They have produced nothing of any value. Their thinking is vacuous, incomplete and self-absorbed.
They shipped our manufacturing overseas, legalized murder with abortion, invaded countries for our oil consumption needs, created an immigration disaster, created political correctness which is destroying our country by allowing separate cultures within our country, created a nation of dummies that couldn't think their way out of a paper bag by their inane "feel good" educational policies.
In a world of peace, which of course is what these pie-in-the-sky dreamers envision for all of us (if we would just get along with our enemies and show them how nice we are), these traits would be harmless. But in this world of terrorism and war, these traits will bring us to the door of complete destruction.
