That’s nice and true, but the truth is a too-large segment of the “Boomer” (specifically, from the ELDER Boomer) set called HIPPIES made a lot of noise and got very involved in all aspects of public life, early, to the point of totally turning our society upside down, probably irrevocably absent some major catastrophe.
It couldn’t have been done without these dupes.
I primarily blame Dr. Spock and the make-nice people who slavishly followed his doctrine.
Your generation was the Jane Fonda, John Denver, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Paul & Mary, Grace Slick, Neil Young , Beatles, Van Morrison, Joan Baez, Jerry Garcia, Pete Townsend, Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Jimmy Page, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Williams Ayers, Chicago Seven, Rod Stewart,etc, etc, etc, the crowd that ranged in age from 15 to 35 in 1960. They created and popularized the new order — free sex, drugs, multiple sexual partners, etc. — and made it the norm. Older than them were the people running the nation into the ground with legislation and court activism.
Not a boomer among them and what went wrong in the 1960s was the fault of everyone but the boomers.
Whatever is going wrong in America today is not the fault of anyone under the age of 23. In 1969 at the end of the decade, boomers ranged in age from boomer, Sarah Palin’s 5 years, to the ripe old age of 23 and all the years in between like 6 and 7 and 8 and 9, and 12 and 13 and 17.
