Dear Editor,
The opinion piece “Boomers, spend as you please,” featured in the Sept. 16 edition, forwards the assertion that your generation is somehow wracked by “obvious laziness.” On what criteria do you base your measurement of obvious laziness? From what moral or intellectual ground do you draw the right to identify a whole generation of Americans as lazy? Perhaps the evidence of such laziness resides in the claim itself. After all, is it not lazy to forward a claim without taking the time to diligently back it up?
