Some say they're white elders who dindu nuffin
 
Some say they had all kinds of power and made awful choices
 
For myself I had stereotypical experiences of boomers and some of them could have been humbler, more generous, kinder, more courageous, and so on.
 
The younger generations seem "lost" due to defective leadership of the older generations, although maybe it could be argued they have failed to "bootstrap" certain things.
 
But also I feel the boomers' parents were more of the ones that needed to prevent things that were happening, and they could have possibly parented better.
 
The boomer parent generation seemed to have the baton and dropped it, but then boomers ran far away in the wrong direction, then the generations coming after than have been simply a derivative of this aggressive lead in the wrong direction made by the boomers
 
Thoughts on boomers, or their parents, or the generations?
