59. not at all true
sucks to get old but we done good

the baby boom is kids born '46 to '64...18 years. We had presidents from that generation for 16 years. I didn't vote for Bush so don't blame me that half of that sucked. Plus, Obama was born in 1961 so he is technically a boomer. I'm claiming him. So we had MORE presidents than WWII generation.

We had much to overcome, segregation, racism, sexism, homophobia. We're not there yet but we've come a long way to realizing many dreams. That was OUR generation. The boomers.

That the right wing of the boomer generation seems meaner and more evil than my dad's generation of GOP is not my fault.

I've always thought the "greatest" generation was overrated. Yeah, they went to war but so did many of us. The fact that they won their war and we didn't isn't because OUR generation sucks. It's that Johnson/Nixon sucked.

lots more reasons not the least of which is The Rolling Stones.
