    Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21We can talk about no blank without blank all day. We can say mostly good or mostly bad things about Boomers. Nonetheless, it is indisputable that Baby Boomers' time has come and gone. President Obama is happening around that, but it's not the only thing. And, of course, the next generation is not guaranteed to make things better, but we are entitled our chance to F*ck up. That requires a lot of Boomers to step the F*ck off. I'm not waiting until I'm 55 to run some shit. If I have to drive by in my Prius and blow Dennis Hopper's Viagra soaked ass off his Harley, so be it. b, 21b, 21h, 21
    b, 21b, 21I love this post.

    Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21/font1Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21b, 21Cats spend their time puttin their money on Lebron yet Old-ass Ray Allen,Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce won the championship.b, 21b, 21The whole old vs young,generation y vs Baby Boomer,Republican vs Democrat,etc is wack.b, 21b, 21Brilliance can emerge from anywhere. b, 21b, 21h, 21
    b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21I thought your point was that generational boundaries are meaningless because brilliance can arise from anywhere.b, 21b, 21Doesn't that render your cause-effect argument useless? It seems to me your point was not that Barack Obama is heir to post-boomer leadership, or that post-boomer figures will usher in the golden age, but that great leadership can rise from brilliant people no matter the time-period or generation.b, 21b, 21That's what your first quote above says. b, 21b, 21h, 21b, 21b, 21I meant it bleeds into one another. There's no real cut-off. Part & parcel.

  • OK.b, 21b, 21Glad we got that sorted out.

    Oh, and when I'm 65, I can't wait--I repeat, CAN'T WAIT--to hand over the reigns to the next generation. Ain't' gonna be no 'you ain't ready', 'you need to do it like so and so' or whatever. It's gonna be "Here, it's yours. Bye." There's a time to learn, a time apply what you learn and a time to reflect. Those phases overlap, to some extent, but they are essentially linear and no one is exempt--unless you are retarded.

    1) I know some 80 year olds that are more productive than 3 x 25 year olds.b, 21b, 21b, 212) "Running things" is over rated but I understand the desire to find this out.b, 21b, 21b, 213) Declaring the "Boomers" dead while pointing to Boomer Obama is some next level shit.

    b, 21b, 21Obama is technically a boomer, but he's the recipient of that generation's work towards civil rights, so I consider him, realistically, post-boomer.

    Anyway, Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they're supporting the campaign. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific issue. And finally they come to this elderly black man who's been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he's there. And he does not bring up a specific issue. He does not say health care or the economy. He does not say education or the war. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley." /b1
