Crap, We Aren't Even 56 & A Month

We didn't mean to, but we saw the opening line of Friedman's piece. (Below.)
I am a 56-year-old baby boomer, and looking around today it’s very clear that my generation had it easy: We grew up in the shadow of just one bomb — the nuclear bomb.
About what we typed (We still haven't/won't read the remainder.) but we have to add that, as a recently turned 56-yr.-old humanoid (let alone "boomer") we've never been so embarrassed to be whatever age we were. Though we've never embarrassed ourself w/ a mustache.

Yep those boomers had it easy. So why have the ones in this country made it so difficult for the young 'uns of today. Could it be greedy narcissism? Wash my mouth out it's economic rationality..Yeah same thing.

Sorry. Our shell-shocked parents spoiled us all, & we even as we drop like flies we remain too selfish to care about our own mutant spawn.
