If you are a Baby Boomer, adopt a new designation for your generation.
WHY
Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. Boomers' claim
to fame is that
they are so big we can’t be ignored. But Boomers need a
new public relations firm.
Is size all the generation stands for? The previous
generation knew PR and called
themselves “The Greatest Generation.” Now that’s great
marketing.
Baby Boomers need to drop the Baby. Boomers are well out of
diapers and
have changed quite a few diapers themselves. Eighteen years
is really more than one
generation and earlier and later Boomers had quite
different defining events.
What most
distinguishes the Boomer generation? They have redefined aging.
Boomers made 50 the
new 30, etc. It wasn’t rhetoric. Though often overweight,
Boomers tend to look and
act twenty years younger than people used to act at their age.
The change has come from
their spirit and determination. It effected a paradigm shift in
how people age. To give proper credit, however, they also had a lot of help
from medicine,
science, and cosmetics.
So let’s give Boomers the credit they deserve for helping
all of us to look and feel younger.
Let’s change their name from Baby Boomers to Age Busters.
I hope to die young, as late as
possible.

Radio talk show caller: I’m 75, Flo. I used to want to live
fast and die young!
Flo: And now?
Caller: Well…now I just want to die young at a very old
age.

We could certainly slow aging process down if it had to
work its
way through Congress.
