Re: Re: A Love Letter from Garden Gnome, or Why I Hate the Baby Boomers

Um, social security is in danger, but mostly because it has been raided over the years by our government. And NO, I don't buy that privitization is the only way to save it, nor did I write that. RTFA.

As far as the parents of baby boomers all being right-wingers, if that is so, than why did some of the greatest examples of welfare capitalism and entitlement programs have their birth under their watch?

Furthermore, your assertion about the parents of the baby boomers having "made them what they are through physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect," is a bizarre combination of prejudices, as it were. There is no evidence to suggest that abuse of any kind was more prevalent in previous eras than it is today. The only difference between now and then is that we now talk about abuse in public and make meager efforts as a society to combat it. Some people even think that there is more abuse today than there was in previous times. This of course, is also untrue.

Your claim that "Boys, in fact, were always victims of this abuse to a much greater extent", makes me think that you are some kind of weird leftist/men's rights activist hybrid. I hate child abuse as much as the next person, but I also hate "DEAR GOD< WHAT ABOUT THE MEN??!!??!" arguments with equal passion.

Quote-of-the-Moment

I say we take the oil. I don't think people realize the super-crisis mode the North Country is in. When you talk about the cost of fuel oil and how it hits a family, our average family income is half what it is down in southern New Hampshire.
-- Republican Sen. John Gallus on 'controversy' of accepting oil assistance for low income people from Citgo and the socialist government of Venezuela.
