"Over the past decade and more it has become fashionable for aging Generation X-ers to sneer at the older baby boomers who preceded them in America's generational cohorts. There is a rough justice in this: No American generation was ever as hate-filled, sneering and contemptuous of their parents, nor as self-indulgent and self-righteous as they themselves aged, as the boomers have been. But like any kind of age, race or religious prejudice painted with a broad brush, the Generation X whines and sneers at their predecessors are as simplistic as the boomers' rants in their day were, and it gets old and ridiculous just as fast."

No asshole, our "sneers" are justified. And be sure to take all the Social Security before you check out.

Ok, this quote confused me over who is snarking at who and who is mad about who and what age everyone is and -- yeah, tiring.
