Narcisistic Boomers congratulate themselves
Ummm...Most of the Black liberation predated the 1964 civil rights act, so it predated "boomers"...
The rest of it is a distortion of both the past and the present...his description of the 1950's is nonsense, and then it goes downhill...the main heroism of the boomers is the sexual revolution...yup. really heroic to promote promiscuity and to condemn taking responsibility for your children and spouse...
And, of course, the "heroics" of anti war protests ignores the drug and sex filled gatherings had more to do with the draft than to protest the deaths of the Vietnamese people in that war...because if they really cared about Asians, the narcissitic boomers wouldn't have ignored the suffering caused when their policies prevailed... Cambodia or the boat people...
Mark Steyn's comments about the press seem to fit this fluffy piece: It's easy to be tough about nothing...
And the Boomers, like the pacifists/hedonists of the 1920's, will leave little behind them except a ruined world that the next generation will have to clean up...
