  It was 20 years ago today....
About 20 years back, I was repeatedly told that my age demographic, Generation X, was going to be the scourge of American civilization. This guy is selling books saying its the millennials that will cause the fall of the American Empire.

On the other hand, we have Bob Herbert claiming in today's column that the millennials are a force to be reckoned with.

Heck, I remember being a kid and listening to the "adults" gripe about the "me generation." Guess who's griping now?

I still think that damnable dixieland music is going to destroy civilization! It's the sound of youngsters being vile and lazy!
 
What is this Dixieland of which you speak? For my money, this Wagner fellow will be the death of civilization. How dare he resolve dissonances with more dissonances!

Being a pre-Boomer or Silent Generation member, just barely, almost not, I have to say that the "me generation" has already destroyed the American Dream.

They, and by "they" I mean those elitist, silvered spoon protruding from their ass, Harvard, Yale, Williams, Bentley, etc, students that bought a diploma, not earned one, are STILL trying to build the American Empire! But by trying to do so are in reality causing it's demise! They are "generation death"!
