Talkin' bout my generation
A new book argues that the baby boomers were a "greater generation" than the one that beat the Depression and Hitler. But what did we really do?
By Gary Kamiya [2006-02-03]

  • Boring... Not so fast

    "Ironically, after all the acid and rebellion and strangeness, they may simply go down in history as a generation, in the words of the Chinese proverb, that was lucky enough to live in boring times."

    Let's wait and see. The way things are going, I think the Boomers could preside over a crisis the likes of which we have not seen in a long time. They will probably be judged by how they react to what's is now unfolding, while the "acid and rebellion and strangeness" will be all but forgotten.
