I have learned since, to my dismay, that those kids dragged their adolescence with them, tugging it along like a security blanket and dragging the rest of us with it.
Let the Baby Boomer bashing commence. Is it not clear how well deserved it is?
Generation X (Generation Reagan) bump!
Hey if you remember the summer of love .... you were not there.
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Have you read Ted Nugent's op-ed piece on this same subject? It is well worth the read.
The Boomers are all now in their late 40s to early 60s. I won’t say most of them are still immature imbeciles pining for things that happened decades ago, because I don’t know or even know of most of them.
But Good Lord, the ones you see in the media and the ones who are public figures are just embarassing. I’m 38 and have lived my entire life watching The Boomer Follies and I just can’t deal anymore.
Gee, how I miss Janis.
Do you have a link, or would a google search work?
So I thought the Summer of Love was just a fad. I was sure the screeching music wouldn't last. The summer of sex, dope, rock 'n' roll and dirty words would be left behind when these tie-dye kids grew up and joined the mainstream. My mainstream.
They’re in charge now.
I’m at the tail end of the boomer generation (born 1963) and frankly they embarress me as well! I have faith that like all things, the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction, but we’ll have to get through this mess first!
I was close. In '67 I was in navigator/nav bomb training, USAF, at Mather AFB in Sacramento.
I know that demographically, you’re lumped in with the boomers, but I’ve never seen anybody born after about 1958 or so as being a “real” boomer. You don’t remember the Kennedy murder, weren’t anywhere near “the summer of love” or Woodstock or anything like that and your coming-of-age years were in the late 70s and early 80s. Quite a different profile from the standard image of the boomer.
lmao. Love the pic...Thanks ~P~
:o
The kids _ the most pampered generation we had produced for a long time _ made American music unmusical and American speech obscene. They erased from the American scene any idea of civility or seemliness.

It’s well deserved. (the generation is big - so can’t indict the whole generation - e.g. some did fight in Vietnam)
Major frustration:
Boomers like Liberals believe they are virtuous, even when wrong, and it’s always the next or previous generations fault for everything that went wrong or is wrong w/ America, World, Soceity.
