Reply #3: I'm a 1951 Boomer, and I agree. [View All]

I turn to retirement if the haters rule. I've seen enough; a patch of ground, a garden, some music, art, books and plays - good friends, an occasional glass of fine wine, an interesting game on the tube, a nice restaurant meal, donations to charity, PBS and a love of animals.

Let the world go by at that point. The tragedy is that I'm not young, and the Gen Yer is. And probably has to live through more members of the Bush family, and the degradation of the environment, and the destruction of the economy, and the splitting of this country like Karl Rove could only dream of.

Yep, I'm glad I'm a Boomer, but the Gen Yer is right.
