Comments on: The Baby Boomers: programmed for selfishness http://whatprivilege.com/the-baby-boomers-programmed-for-selfishness/ so you think you don't have any Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:46:15 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Cecelia http://whatprivilege.com/the-baby-boomers-programmed-for-selfishness/comment-page-1/#comment-963 Cecelia Thu, 28 Aug 2008 20:47:56 +0000 http://blindprivilege.com/?p=39#comment-963 Excellent post! I just stumbled across your blog via Uppity Brown Woman and its great! I really like this post for numerous reasons but it validates how I see the selfishness in baby boomers. I am in agreement with the person who commented above that I hope your writing is heard by a larger audience. Recently how I have seen and viewed baby boomers is that the life they currently live is a life of excess. They are the first generation to own and have as many material items and to to have more monetary wealth than generations prior. It was a part of many of the baby boomers American Dream to have a house, car, a second house and them some. Now with job loss and foreclosure they are learning some lessons that monetary wealth and material cultivation is not life. I am glad that you did not lump this group into one group so to speak as a group is made of individuals an you can't generalize everything. I do know a plethora of baby boomers that hang out to valuing simplicity, land, family, friends and not monetary wealth or materialism. Anyway, this post has me thinking more about this now...

Anyway, this post has me thinking more about this now…

I don't agree with all (though I do agree with much of what you've written) you say, but you have a great style. I hope you continue and that a larger audience finds your material.
