Although I am — age-wise — on the edge of being a Boomer, I have always identified more with Gen-X and have no love of Boomers... a load of once-idealistic Hippies who pretty much invented Wall Street Greed. The Reagan-era caused a lot of damage in this country. Our kids are 33, 32 and 29 and life is a constant struggle for them... I don't have any good answers; being born and raised in Denmark the thing I most notice is the almost complete lack of "other-thinking" in the US; everything is focused on the self and on the individual. Whereas that might be noble on paper, it doesn't make for a functional society.
