One of the Interesting Sociological Questions…

…is how a generation as self-sacrificial and willing to endure so much as the Greatest Generation managed to give rise to children so self-absorbed as this, my generation, the Boomers.

Here’s our latest bit of trendiness, a skyrocketing divorce rate. What’s behind it? Boomers deciding “it’s time to really get into my life and think about me as an individual”.

“Wow! That is so uncharacteristic of Generation Narcissus! Blowing off sacred personal responsibility to people who depend on you and going on a personal quest for maximum selfishness? Who could have foreseen that of *this* generation?” said no one, ever.
