Sad, ain't it? I'll be 70 in October. They call me a boomer as if it is a curse, yet I was raised not as a flower child or a Pollyanna or addicted to TV, movies, celebrity, top 40 music, sports stars. And I do not like labels anyway. I see my cousins (my age) on mom's side, college and university educated, having careers and making good money, yet so clueless, while my mom taught me and my sibs to question everything. How did that happen? She read books and encouraged us to shut the TV off, and explore and learn through experience and being open to the divine; creativity, being just us. Sounds crazy but all of her children learned that we could be ourselves and not follow the crowd, the trends, the vogue. We could be strong like she was. I thank God for her.

that's indeed very sad (what you relate, the stuff with the sign).
