I was struck by interest in a NYTimes article in which it was discussed
how a generation of minors have become primary caregivers for the
elderly... who more times then not were baby boomers. It was discussed
how this effected their ability to go to school and live normal
childhoods... as well caused them employment without pay where previous
generations did not have these responsibilities and the amount of
psychological abuse these young kids are taking. many old timers love
bitching about politics. what struck me was that story in NYC where a
woman who had been a manager for the Ramones was beaten with a yoga
stick by a young caregiver. Perhaps we are not giving these kids enough
credit.
