Here's a piece I came up with that indicts
the baby boomers as being largely responsible
for the credit crunch. The boomers have made the pursuit
of their self-interests their highest priority at the expense of
the generations that have succeeded them. If one has to
wonder how this whole financial disaster came about in the U.S.
then it wouldn't be a stretch to implicate the "Me Generation's" ethos
of instant gratification, spend now and let someone else pay later.
I think this mentality really lies at the root of much of the problems --
economic and social, that we're facing today.
