Loved it that Rubin wrote a book and titled it “Steal This Book”
Ironically enough free for download on the internet now...

From an interview in 1964
Well that makes three of us that think alike. Probably more as I read on.
Rubin, the founding Yippie and Weinberg the ‘civil rights’ activist(nice catch btw)....neither one close to being a ‘boomer’.
Every generation has its Democrats, er, screw-ups. I guess it's the same thing.
Wild In The Streets was not a TV Movie of the week. It was a standard theatrical release and spawned the hit single “Shapes of Things To Come” by “Max Frost and The Troopers”, the fictional band from the movie. It was followed up with Riot on Sunset Strip - more standard drive-in movie fare about Hippies written by the the over 30 ‘grown-up crowd’.

Four.
When (way back) I was in high school, my family moved from Conservativesville in the American heartland to the left-fringe coastal region I was shocked not only at what my generation there were doing, but at the previous generation encouraging them on. Our teachers, our church ministers and other leaders...
Some of our generation didn't have much of a chance against all that.
That would be Abbie Hoffman.

To make a long story short, I was planning on getting out in less than 10 years. I stayed for 7, got adjusted up to 9.125% after 5 and paid an average APR of about 7.765%. If I took the Fixed 30 offered at the time of closing, I would have paid about 8.375APR for 7 years, if I had take the 1 year ARM I would have been bumped to at least 9% within 3 years and God knows what APR. So please tell me what I did wrong with my ARM, and why I shouldn’t have been offered it under any circumstances?
btw...I was not implying that these two were 'greatest generation' although everyone (but a few actors) associated with the film that made the phrase popular was.
Don't know why you think I'm against offering them, but in the circumstances of my purchases they'd have been extremely risky. Work it out carefully, as you did, and it's fine. But it can be a trap for the unwary.
I must have seen it on TV a year or two later. btw...Riot on Sunset Strip with Aldo Ray was a year earlier, not later.
BTW, I didn’t run your numbers. I just accepted your claim that your analysis said you got a better deal. If so, good for you!
I am in middle Michigan. Born, raised and never moved away. The drug scene and the hippy scene never hit our area in any big way and when it did it I really don’t know how it presented itself. When I graduated I had never heard of marijuana and it was many years after before I did hear of it and certainly did not know where I could get it. This would have been too scarey for most in my time. What these generations think took place did not take place across this country. It took place in big cities not little bergs.
I resent the implication that baby boomers are the free love, flower children, commune living hippies that never outgrew that era. The majority of us DID NOT take part in what the documentaries depict. I never heard about Woodstock until it was a documentary on T.V. and I was not sheltered. It wasn’t something that was in our area—plain and simple. Getting drunk was a big deal in my time. I have no idea what was going on in Detroit or the resort towns. I was small town but this small town is no longer innocent and it was not my generation that brought in the evils.
I had both of those esteemed *cough* "gentlemen" on my mind when I posted that.
Cut from the same cloth maybe, with a few remnants left over for Paul Krassner?
Great gimmick, moved a lot of books. LOL

Correction caught by carry okie, it was Abbie Hoffman, not the sandwich guy.
I'm betraying my misspent youth.
LOL!
Guy one eats at a diner counter, a full meal. Twenty minutes into the meal guy two comes in and sits next to him but orders only coffee. They play it like total strangers. They both ask for the bill. Guy one takes the coffee bill up to the cashier and pays it. He leaves and drives (walks) off.
Guy two gets a refill and lingers five minutes. Then he looks at the bill for the full meal and complains. He pays for the coffee, smiles and leaves. Guy one and two hook up down the road and do it again.
Neither did I. Even though I'm classified a boomer, the Hippie movement was before my time. I did my share of partying, but I thought the Hippies were weird people.
