That’s a hoot. More than a little truth in there, too.
When the sixties started the “silent generation” ranged in age from 15 to age 35, their little brothers and sisters, many of whom were not even born yet, did not create the sixties.
You also seem unaware of the religious revival that started among the young during the late sixties and early seventies, that in time led to the reemergence of Christians in American politics.
