I use the census bureau definition of boomer, it is amazing how people just make up their own decision of who is and who isn’t a boomer, to fit their agenda.
You get William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn and the boomers get Sarah Palin.
As far as boomers running the sixties, the oldest boomer in America was 23 at the end of the sixties, the youngest was five.
Yeah they were running the world.
What you need to do is lighten up. I was kidding on most of my comments to you. What I didn't say, and I defy you to show where I did, was that I thought boomers were runn9ing anything in the 60s. What I said was that most hippies and anti-war protesters in the 60s and 70s were boomers, and they were.
Most of them were high school age or slightly older, some of them were pre-boomers, most of the pre-boomers radicals were born about 1944 or 1945, but the biggest majority of them were boomers.
1946 to 1960 is 14 years but the protests didn't start until after 1966, which means the boomers born in 1946 were 20, college age, and that is where most protesters and anti-war jerks were in the 60s, in college.
The fact of the matter is lots of boomers didn't want to be drafted, they didn't want to fight and run the chance of being killed, simple as that. They were not running the world then,(and I never said they were) neither were the pre-boomers who chose the route of terrorists or protesters, but they are running this country now and doing a shit job of it.
Lighten up, learn to read between the lines, learn to tell the difference between a joke and serious posting and people like me won't make you look like the a**hat idiot that you are.
