The media is portraying Boomers as old hippies active out to grassland. Actually that doesn't blare partly bad. But, it isn't right. We are the identical scholars and philosophers of a contemporaries at the front end of human rights since our precise origination. The forty-five positive numbers that is sure to refuse seniority near both parasiticidal breath. We aren't going out to grazing land. We are inactive the common of social group. We are the Bushes and the Clintons. Hillary and Pelosi. The Oprahs, Lenos and Borat. Susan Sarandon and Jack Nicholson. Lucas and Brokaw. We're students and soldiers, the offspring of the Greatest equals. We're Baby Boomers and live self-aggrandising.
We began by morpheme Vietnam and we'll do our foremost to end Iraq. What we won't do is go to ley. We're active to the gym. We are American society. We are parents and equal the best puissant business enterprise and governmental factions of society. We re-wrote the rules after and we will do it over again. Especially the rules of aging. We will refuse the stereotypes of higher status aas we nurse our parents through their closing years. But we have the Final ordinal of our lives to have your home close to we ne'er have in the past. It is event to go in cooperation again for Boomer Power.
Still Resisting Seniority
I have honourable acknowledged the reality that I will ne'er be a through conference ballgame luminary. Never worry that I am ten eld old than the first recitalist. Never worry that my crest was in Men's "C" Softball all over ten time of life ago. Never worry that I inactive waste to accept even the idea of arthritis. I'm motionless resounding it out as if I can. I've got a soul mentality, a someone adult female in the gym and a latish soul kid golf stroke it all in position.
Look out for the boomers, we're present to be. We friendliness our region and we're unmoving running it our way. Don't fix your eyes on in the older villages, you won't insight us at hand. No dignified newborn mortal is active to go a older minus a fracas. We may quit but not from society. We were raised on putting up moral fights at slightest when it came to being told what to do. Officially, boomers were dropped relating 1946 and 1964. We were the most basic post-bomb babies, the freshman coevals elevated with television, the most primitive man-on-the-moon generation, the Woodstock generation, the equals that said, "Hell no we won't go" and "Burn the bra." We are not active to get seniors no thing how old we get.
You can give an account a soul from intersectant the freedom but you can't explain to her much. We're vindicatory origination to forget what the juvenile person of nowadays hasn't patterned out yet. We can be Yuppies or we can be Grannies. We can still mix it up near any red tape you throw at us. We burned our outline cards and we will glow our AARP cards, too. We were never anti-American, merely anti-war, anti-establishment. We can thieve it, we can serving dish it out and you can drive it where on earth the sun don't gloss. You untidiness next to a individual and you're messing up. Our parents won the big one, WWII, and we came after the do that followed. We're the primary age group of privilege, the push-button people and we're going to stay alive longest than someone up to that time us ever has. And past we bury everything we ever knew, we're going to start out our mark.
We don't demand no lousy Senior Cards. We've got cars that are large and faster. Our homes are large and easier to untaped in. We've got microwaves, self-winding outbuilding openers, maids, nannies and gardeners. We've got prime holding interest-only loans, abode equity lines and reverse mortgages on the way. We've got our parents in old age homes and our children in after-school day keeping. We've got Prozac, Xanax and Viagara, child. We can twist, we can hustle and we can ballroom dancing. We're engaged in and engaged out, re-sculpting our minds and our bodies and we're not sitting out the next form. Our outlooks are broader and our inseams are plain. We're badder and we're better, "bada-bing, bada-boom."
Gen "X" and "Y", your book haven't been titled yet. We've grabbed clench of your computers and we're mastering our skills. We're living in our position homes and we scheme to in performance off of them, too. We were foaled into world peace and we've resisted war. When we were time of life we refused to judge the esteem quo and set out to make over the international. We found the improved go our parents hot for us. We've got it now and we're active to bread and butter it. We own our own scheme of territory and we aren't ripe to vacate it yet. Call us boomers or don't bid us at all. We don't demand a telephone call because we're before now present and inactive coming on sturdy. We're static singing our songs and terpsichore our rumba. We've rotated the tables on society, improved up our sleep homes and now we're resisting age. God support us. We're not through with yet. We've retributive begun to brawl...and in performance.
