Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, part of a
chorus of graduation speakers who chided
Baby Boomers
Today's recommended reading comes courtesy of the Wall Street Journal.
I don't need to dwell on it much here because the article in question fully speaks for itself.
It's a piece on various graduation speakers, themselves Baby Boomers, who stood before the college Class of 2009 and apologized.
The Boomer-bashing premise of the story is this: the generation that promised to change the world for the better is apologizing for the world it created.
As Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, 60 years old, told the graduating class of Butler University last month, the Baby Boomers have been "self-absorbed, self-indulgent and all too often just plain selfish."
Equally as entertaining are the many comments attached to the story. One I particularly like:
"Every generation is the same. No exceptions. The younger generations say they're going to change things for the better because they don't have to pay the bills yet. Every generation also has to clean up and deal with the mess the previous one left. I'm 62 years old and I apologize to no one. If the kids today don't like it; DEAL WITH IT!"
