I'll drink to that, on my huge yacht, on the Gulf of Salerno, then off on my Bell Jet ranger to the generational warfare school where I will learn the smear tactics of those we tip our hat's to in this prestigious award ceremony..Ahhh, the good life of us Boomers......I sometimes can't believe it really happened.....

The generation that went through the depression and fought in World War II were called the greatest generation. It's in their name people.

As for the most selfish and most foolish, I think that depends on when you look at things. I'm sure in the 1960's the greatest generation was the most selfish for getting us in foreign wars for silly reasons and starting the annoying habit of keeping up with Joneses that continues to this day even through the most recent Great Recession (the wife of a podcaster I listen to plays the "package" game for instance), while the boomers were the most foolish for taking mind expanding drugs, fighting for equal rights, being koombaya and stating the world could be in harmony, and fighting against an unjust war that they were drafted into without representation like a bunch of babies. Now boomers are the selfish ones and the millennials are foolish. Fourty years from now the millennials will be the selfish ones and generation AA (as the next is gen Z) will be the foolish ones.

Every Generation complains about the previous/next generation. I'm sure Homo Erectus though Homo Sapiens were a bunch of entitled farmers who were too lazy to hunt and gather.

Us Boomers were obviously too good to our kids as they have grown up whining and entitled.
