I started reading this crap thinking "What the fuck???" Who the hell is the OP to throw us all under the bus? I came up from poor white stock as well. I worked 2-3 jobs AND went to school full time and STILL managed to volunteer where I was needed.

I didn't get involved in the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement and the Anti-war movement back then because it was "fun." I and THOUSANDS of other women did it because we had a moral obligation to do so. And guess what? We're still volunteering at homeless shelters. We're still working with at-risk kids. We're still going to peace marches. We're still fighting for equality.

I'm not surprised when some Gen Xer or Yer (the "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" generation) rags on boomers because most of them never had a clue to begin with but for a fellow boomer to be doing it? You're right. There's more going on here than meets the eye and it has nothing to do with those of us who have been working our asses off for the last 35 years.
