Why isn't my "generation" the "greatest"? We didn't start any world wars, nor drop any atomic bombs, nor think it's OK to be racist, nor tell our wives to get back in the kitchen when we came back from a war.

I thought for a bit about your comments, then thought it best to say nothing. I do understand, to some degree, your thoughts, but (oops, I'm starting to say something!)...
