Reply #179: Let's see, I was born in the mid 50's. When I was growing up I was inundated with [View All]

storming the beaches of Europe, walking to school in 3 feet of snow uphill both ways, having to wear hand me downs because you didn't spent "good money" on clothes, having to work in the fields at young ages, I could go on. It's just that every generation has animosity toward the "memories" of the previous generation. The only reason you are hearing more about the glory days of the boomers is because the generations before us didn't have or hadn't figured out how to use the airwaves to their benefit yet. It was still new and used for "important" stuff.
Both of my kids are boomer incarnates. One is 30-something, the other in her 20's. They both love the 60-70's style music and lifestyle (non-materialistic)they were raised around. My son idolizes Jim Morrison. My daughter's ipod is full of songs I know every lyric too. They are both strong dems and work toward fixing social injustices and environmental problems. So as far as I can see we must have done SOMETHING right.:shrug:
