12. Did Alan Simpson piss ya off?
He is part of the "establishment" that the young men and women of the 60s railed against.
Yet, most boomers went their own way as the 70s came to an end.
Raised families, got jobs, started businesses, and watched how the establishment fucked your generation time and time again.
Now they're fucking your children's generation, and still the boomers sit on their hands, run their fingers through their graying hair, and ask "who is going to stop this shit?"

Now we have to work twice as hard to take control of the House back in 2012.
At the same time that some boomers have walked away from Obama.
