"Boom and Bust"

Dear Baby Boomers, On behalf of Generation X, I want to formally say thank you. Thank you for David Crosby and Woodstock. While we're at it, thank you for the miracle of Viagra, the wisdom of Dr. Phil, the spiritual insight of Oprah and the ubiquity of Bill Clinton...Can we PLEASE move on?!
