Slap Happy Grand Pappy

Okay, so evidentally some old guy in a Wal Mart decided to help a young mother out, who he didn't even know, by slapping her two year old across the face five times to get the kid to be quiet. I'll be the first that he should probably be skinned...maybe not completely. Say remove a sleeve or something.

But here are two major points that I would like to make on this subject:

First--baby boomer? You bet. Who else would feel entitled a 2 year old across the face except a member of the infamous and useless "me" generation. So, accustomed to having everything their way, it must irk them to know end when someone's offspring disturbs their own perpetual childhood now extending well into the seventies (thanks Viagra!).

Second--Can we find out what this guy was on. As the baby boomers are now this nation's most prominent junkies, I'd like to know which pharmaceutical company I should blame for the fall of Western Civilization. He didn't slap a two year old sober, you and I both know that. At some point, we X-ers are going to have to figure out what to do with these addle brained addicts. I say, send them to Hawaii, tell them surfing's the next "new thing," and let nature take its course. I don't know, how's Prozac for mountain climbing?
