#1 Frenzy and panic are present. But I wouldn't say Boomers are supporting Bambi. It's clearly blacks and under 40 generation who are kneeling to the Messiah. They are aided and abetted by a few wealthy in the Boomer crowd however, like the little fag Katzenburg and his Hollyweird cronies.

#3 We havent seen such frenzy since the Y2K sham

That's as far as I could go into this piece. What a moron. Y2K was not a sham. It was a real problem and if boomers like me hadn't dealt with it as efficiently as we did there would have been chaos because all of the software written before 1995 would have gone off the rails. There was a lot of that software in production at the time and it all had to be upgraded or replaced. It wasn't easy. It took a lot of training, hard work, brains and ingenuity but it was done.

So sorry I was born in the post war period. I didn't have much control over that. I've done the best I could with the situation the way I saw it. I'm sick of idiots like Victor Davis Hanson laying all the blame on me. I don't see myself as being hysterical even though I'm part of the first generation that grew up with the threat of nuclear holocaust. I did not invent racism, communism, smog, islamic fundamentalism, nuclear weapons, AIDS, global warming or bank runs. I had nothing to do with the conditions that led to these problems. They were all started before I was even born by people in previous generations which Hanson appears to think he represents. I'm just trying to deal with it.

#7 I don't know, .5MT, I am a Baby Boomer and I don't agree with VDH's assertions. I guess it depends on how and where the Boomer was born and raised.
