To commemorate my 1000th post, I submit the following to

[Fire1]

generation X and generation Jones: Yes, boomers have come of age. Many are parents and some even grandparents. We were the driving force of the sixties and seventies revolution that questioned and challenged the establishment in education, race, gender and foreign policy. We believed in creativity, artistic and cultural expression.

Comparatively, your generation is more global, more technological, idealistic, more focused on climate change and immigration as it relates to cultural identity. President Obama's platform has been one of change and transformation from the old politics. I am hopeful that these campaign promises come to fruition sooner rather than later. In the interim, they will undergo modification, innovation and compromise. In so doing, he will solicit the assistance from the boomers in his cabinet. Robert Gates (defense), Summers ( National Economic Council) and Clinton ( State). Other boomers in key leadership positions around the world include Sarkozy of France and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

President Obama will succeed but he cannot do it alone. Post boomers are arriving but boomers are still a force to be heard.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

1. it is my opinion also.

I would add that 'corporate rights' as defined as 'individual rights' needs to end.

3. Congratulations!

And let's hope that the GenXers and GenJones's are more influential than us Boomers.

It doesn't seem to have gotten us too far in terms of societal change.

The dinosaurs are still firmly in control, although Obama gives me (cliché warning) hope.
