The occasional wiff of second hand smoke when you are outdoors is not going to affect you in any way.
Although I believe in conserving resources in general, I am not 100% convinced that man made global warming is occurring. It's a very likely explanation, at this point, but not the only one, and we should always be open to new ideas. Global warming is not a religion. You do not "Believe" in it. The opinions of many on this subject are influenced not by a love of the environment or reasoning but by which political party they want to win.
I rarely vote. I appreciate the right to vote, but I cannot stand bi-partisan politics. The whole system just boils down to who you want to win, as you have arbitarily defined yourself as "left" or "right" at some point. I cannot understand why issues like economic policy and gay marriage have to be linked. You can't choose one policy without voting for dozens of others you despise.
Baby boomers worked far less than the current generation and recevied far more. Anyone who says this generation is "entitled" doesn't know what they are talking about. Lower end jobs pay less. Housing, food, and gas are far less affordable. It's far harder to get into useful educational programs than it was 20 or 30 years ago. Very rarely does a couple have the privilege of having one person stay home to look after the domestic work and kids. The list goes on.

Most of us Boomers are still working, and working harder than ever. Half the time I'm fixing the problems that were sluffed off by my younger co workers.
