Did the Baby Boomers Break Government?
CNN: "Could it be that the reason our government is broken is because of which generation is running things?""Authors Morley Winograd and Michael Hais think so, insisting that the problem is that power is now firmly in the hands of self-righteous baby boomers who have spent their entire lives convinced that anyone who disagrees with them is morally inferior. Boomers won't negotiate anything, Winograd and Hais say, because they think every position they hold is rooted in something no less sacred than their values, and they're understandably reluctant to negotiate their values."

I honestly think so. We're dealing with failed idealism, narcissism and greed...and most to the point, we're still fighting Vietnam-era culture battles. Obviously you can't really paint everyone 55 and up as "baby boomers" in the sense meant here, but it does capture something important.
