<< Well if it wasn't for that heard of sheep you'd be making that post in German. Don't forget that they also were responsible for building our nation into the most powerful nation in the world and what they had to endure during the deprtession. I doubt that the Baby Boomer would have the cajones to deal with that and I know for certain that the me first BGenX'ers would just die if they didn't have their DSL >>
I agree in part, I will give you this, WW2 generation was the greates generation this country has seen, but because they had all the right ingredients. They had a common enemy to overcome, and dreams to achieve. However, once their time passed and they started to die off, that was something they had not forseen. IMHO, I think the WW2 didnt see past a couple of decades, and did not put enough preassure on their children to strive to out do their generation. The result? A generation that was pretty much the equibalent of breeding bunnys. They ate, they slept, they procreated at an enormous rate, saturating society with all sort of creatures. The baby boomers tried to ride the WW2 bandwagon and as a result we have the X/Y generation.
