8. The majority of good done in the '60's...
was done by a small subset of boomers. Most boomers were not hippies, beatniks or peaceniks, nor did they march against the Viet Nam war, or attend Monterey and Woodstock. The members of the '60's counterculture are the only boomers I like. Unfortunately, too many from the counterculture caved later on, though there are still some great people from the '60's still around, marching and fighting for truth and justice.

Most boomers voted for Nixon and Reagan, and helped push through a culture of greed and excess during the '80's. Though I am technically a boomer, I was born a couple years after Obama and have never felt a part of the boomer generation.
