Depending upon your perspective, the baby boomer generation is responsible for all that is good with the world or all that is wrong.
Whether you are a ‘boomer’, a member of ‘Generation X’, or neither, the truth is that baby boomers were the first generation to never grow up.

They took on the roles but not the conventional habits. This is why today’s world leaders and, to be fair, most ‘traditional’ authority figures dress for their summer breaks like Harry Enfield’s TV character, Kevin the Teenager.
