Today is your day Boomer! It looks like I may have to change the name of my blog in the near future. If the United Nations gets its way, the world is looking at a name change for Boomers. According to UN Chief Demographer Hiro Shima the organization wants to change our generational name from "Boomer" to "Bomber" to recognize how the world drastically changed from 1946-1965. The focus would be on the Atomic Age starting with the two American bombs used in Japan to end World War II to other wars like Korea and Vietnam and the almost nuclear-war in the Cuban Missile Crisis. The other factor, of course, would be the arms race with literally thousands of nukes developed by nations like the US and USSR....with their pointed fingers ready to use them in the the so-called "Cold War". Shima says we invented and built all these bombs and defined our global destiny with them...so we should be called the "Baby Bombers". Wow. Happy AFD. Cheers!
