The "ME" Generation



Somewhere along the line the free-thinking, anti-establishment philosophy of the 1960's Hippie Generation turned into the "man" they were trying so desperately to separate from. See the "then" and "now" photo above.

The Baby Boomers are the most selfish generation that ever existed. They thrived in post WWII prosperity, and they then rebelled against the establishment that fostered their own well-being. The Me Generation was sooooooo certain of their new order that they swore was different and more enlightened than their conservative, conforming parents. Damn the man. They were about peace, love, freedom, and equality for all.

Ironically, they are now the establishment they were rebelling against. Now that health care reform is being discussed, they are the first ones to poo-poo any and all reform as it may affect THEIR own precious selves. There is not one thought to others. It's all about them.

Where is peace, love, and equality for all now that you're the ones holding the wealth?

Silence. I thought so.
