Generational Change
Lapis said:
It's obvious from what
some of you have said here that you haven't a deeper level clue as to who many, not all of course, but many of the Baby Boomers really are and what they really did in the 1960s and are still doing today...not that it matters one tiny little bit. Also, just how do you think that Obama was able to be the President NOW anyway? But please, carry on.
By the way...how old are you Theo?
Old enough to know what it is that I am saying Lapis. I've been a keen observer of the baby boomer generation for a long time, and my observations are neither flippant, nor in error. I am very much aware, and versed in what is happening on the generational level, and my eyes have always been open.

I have been warning the baby boomer generation to look ahead ~ not back ~ for some years now. What I've seen about this particular generation is that, as a whole generation, they have to moving towards the future with their backs turned. Nothing more than exemplifies this than the falling apart of the world economic health with the collapse of Wall Street, and the complete mess the world is in right now under the leadership of the baby boomer generation. This is not my opinion, nor something I've ever wanted to see, but I do not hide from the truths of the matter, and frankly, considering the world transits to come, it will get worse before it gets better, and that will happen under the leadership fo Generation X ~ not the Boomer generation.
The baby boomer generation has failed to live up to their own philosophies, and they know it too. It is a failure of faith, honesty and vision. This generation, with its obsession with "looking young" and being "young" ~ "70 is the new 50" and "60 is the new 40," and all that junk of "living forever," "eternal youth" with its generational and highly negative and cynical behavior and the massive, and outragous misuse of wealth along with fighting constantly confrontational battles of the late 20th century while ignoring the future ~ has GREATLY mortgaged the future of other generations ~ including that of their own children and their grandchildren. It is unforgivable and some boomers already have stated this while others continue to attempt to not face this truth.
Look at what is happening: nearly every economist is making references to "FDR" and the "Great Depression" in this first decade of the 21st century. There is a estimated loss of over $100 TRILLION worldwide, with cities, states, and whole countries seeing their entire economies shrink with millions of losses in jobs, the collapse of the investment banking industry on Wall Street, the destroyed industrial bases, the failed and backrupted commercial banks, the freezing of credit, the failing companies, and huge amounts of foreclosures forcing families out of their homes with housing prices collapsing. We have critical infrastructures falling apart, bridges, roads, public schools failing on a wide scale, students unprepared for new occupations, and a destroyed healthcare system.

Just where is the success of the Baby Boomer generation?
This is a time of major generational change ~ and it is time for the boomer generation to move on ~ and global transits will certainly make this happen ~ because it is happening right now.
Moreover, I do not subscribe to some of those who would like to close eyes to the truths emerging about the boomer generation at this time, because I find that ignorant. It closes off the light from what has gone down, and makes a mockery out of what the Baby Boomer movement called for as a "generation for positive change" for decades, but failed misrably to deliver once they were in power as a generation. This power has been used by the generation to horde and destroy wealth, and to maintain a "status quo" while helping to do little to nothing to upgrade and progress every area of public and private institutions and society to safeguard the future.
Rather, the boomer generation has failed miserably to progress the world into this new century, and now, the world is looking more like the mid-20th century, than the 21st century. Just where did all that excitement of the year 2000 go when boomers celebrated the 21st century as their time to effect change since they've been in power since the mid-1990s?
I am very saddened by this, and know boomers who are also upset by their generation's destruction of nearly every area of public and private life in this country and others. Look around, and you will see the nearly every public and private organization that has been controlled, led, and managed by boomers ~ from education, to economics, to government, etc., is in horrible shape.
For the boomer generation, time is running short because of the coming transits of the 2010s. I have been trying to help some of my baby boomer clients to open their eyes, and to prepare for their retirements so they can survive, rather than to fall prey to the world transits of the 2010s, which will be very hard on this generation.
It is ESSENTIAL for Baby Boomers who have not been totally taken in by the "70 is the new 50" propaganda, and who want to have a healthy, safe life as senior citizens, and clearly recognize the generational shift that has begun, to take charge of their lives to put into place those things they will require in their senior years that their own generation has failed to do over the last 15-25 years.
All of this has to be accomplished within a short 3-4 years, and there will simply not be enough time; therefore, those who are aware of the global transits of the 2010s as they apply to the boomer generation, must begin to end the fantasy of "eternal youth" and get real ~ this generation will grow older, as every other generation of the past has, and it will not be all roses; especially in this current and coming global economic climate.
