Name: BOB BYTHEBAY BOOMER From: MARYLAND	FIND SOMETHING MORE PRODUCTIVE TO DO WITH YOUR TIME, RATHER THAN TO WATCH FOR US OLE GEEZERS TO KILL OFF :) Added: July 23, 2008
Name: Mark From: Chicago	Mike from Chicago - you just saved me a whole bunch of typing. Thanks. Added: July 10, 2008
Name: Barb the Boomer From: Originally, back east	No we didn't invent the internet. At 55, I am a third generation IT pro (you read that right). My grandfather (b. 1901) was one of IBM's first techies (nobody famous, just a guy on the team) and my mother was a programmer. We did have the first color TV in our neighborhood (the neighbors came over to gawk). There was life before us, and there will be life after us, but the bad news is that some of us are "immortalists" - let's see how we do. Added: June 29, 2008

Name: Mike From: Chicago	No television? TVs first became available around 1930, years before the boomer generation. The great civil rights leaders of the 60s were born before the boomers came of age. ARPANET, the predecessor of the internet, first went online in '69, at which time the oldest boomers were 23; the brilliant minds that put it together weren't all 23 yrs. or younger (most were not). Like some other boomers I've heard and read, you are taking credit for way too many accomplishments and refuse to acknowledge any faults or failures. I'm a gen X'er (born in '81) and though some of my fellow gen X'ers are selfish and irresponsible (like many of the counterculturist boomers of the '60s), many of us are hard working, caring, socially responsible people. Of course boomers did accomplish some great things, but they also have left behind some nasty messes that the generation(s) that follow will need to clean up (children who lack discipline and/or a sense of morality; huge federal deficit; lack of financial planning for their older years, leaving undeserved burden on their descendants, just to name a few).

Name: Booming and Proud! From: Los Angeles	Wait...baby boomers are to blame for the excess of today? Without baby boomers there would be no civil rights, no television and <gasp> no internet! The Gen Xers should be ashamed of themselves..hiding behind their iPods and iPhones and blaming all the ills of the world on the previous generation instead of being proactive! Added: June 3, 2008

Name: kenia From: california	this thing rocks my socks it is the best website ever in Added: April 29, 2008
Name: P. J. O'Connor From: Chicago	Grim--but grimness has its attractions. I guess I am an atypical Boomer. We're not all slackers. I saved enough to retire and took early retirement in 2007. I hope to still be around by 2025, but I think you may be right. For myself, being born in 1947, an LD50 of 78 years' age is a bit much to expect... At any rate, I've moved over to make some room for the "X-ers." Enjoy! Added: April 21, 2008
