The sooner the baby boomers are out of power the better
Do you find yourself frequently disagreeing with your parents' stances/opinions on social issues; maybe even a completely different political ideology? How about tolerance toward others? Do you think you and your peers are more accepting than your parents and your friends'? Can't find a politician you agree with?
I do, and given charge against some current issues and problems (gay marriage, for instance) is arguably mostly led by the baby boomer's children, Gen Y, I eagerly await the time when our generation has power so we can quickly put the issues of today behind us (and yes, I realise they probably said the same thing).
Thoughts?

Though I agree that Boomers in general (being one myself) are pretty selfish and self-centered, the standard that I hold all generations to is the "Greatest Generation" (as Brokaw named them). The parents of the Boomers who survived the Great Depression, fought in a World War, prevented the Cold War from going hot, stamped out many diseases, began modern civil rights, and put man on the Moon. All with their own wits, determination, willingness to self sacrifice, and slide rules. Any generation, Boomers onward, is going to have a hard time matching those accomplishments.
