Yick! I know the boomer generation in the states was portrayed to some degree as being the retirees who would sink the Social Security Systems by just lying around collecting money.

The truth is that boomers want to continue working and, for the most part, don't see just sitting around doing nothing as a good future. It's tough to find a job after 50 here, however, in spite of the law against agism. Corporations seem to want young, easily influenced people whom they can hire two-for-one for the cost of an older worker.

As you can see, I'm already on this crusade! :-))
