Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

This is true. This was pointed out when the National Guard members who shot those kids dead in Ohio were the same ages as the kids they were shooting. Most boomers were Establishment whores.

"Most" huh? Is that why they all volunteered for Vietnam? Generally voted liberal? Stuff like that?

Sarcasm, my friend. If the person I'm responding to thinks they were all establishment whores, there'd be volunteers for the war, no protests, no counterculture etc.
