Aging baby boomers are defending themselves saying how much they still contribute to society as day care workers  for their grandchildren, volunteers for many causes, and givers of charity. 
  Fairly good. But considering the enormous wealth and power boomers have, they can contribute so much more to bettering the lives of future generations.
 I highly recommend Theodore Roszak's last book, "The Making of an Elder Culture" (2009), his sequel to "The Making of a Counter Culture" (1969).
  Always the inspirational optimist, his premise is the hope that boomers will wake up and carry on the social revolution they started in the 1960's. He presaged Bernie Sanders' popularity by seven years.
