Yeah! The ranter got the 60's, 70's, 80', and 90's right, but he he fails to understand the fifties. A large number of men of that generation came back from the service with a desire to get an education. Many did, by sacrificing and struggling. Then we got good jobs, married, had families (the 60's and 70's generations) and did what we had to do to make a life after the disastrous 40's. We do not look back on our generation as unambiguously innocent, however. As vets, we had been around, seen a lot and learned much more.

It is difficult for us to understand what happened to the following generations, but I put it down to the malevolent influence of the socialists/commies that infested higher education, and still do. Our grandkids are still being served up socialist ideology in grade school, high school and college. The result has been the "stained blue dress generation" (what an appropriate symbol for the clintinoids out there!) and political, economic and societal chaos.

"It is difficult for us to understand what happened to the following generations"

When our parents settled down after WW2, everybody was the same economically and socially...

all our parents wanted for we kids was for us to have it easier than them...

thus, we all grew up seeking education and the "good" life, rather than leading a "good" life...

its like our parents dreams for us turning into nightmares.....

how my generation went from watching black and white reruns of "I Love Lucy" into what passes today for entertainment, I will never know....
