I tried to explain this to a friend the other day and you said this so well..
Thank you. I remember those days of confusion & revulsion; people could not understand where this violence and hatred had come from so suddenly, I was a few years older than the average age of the ‘hippie protestors’ and wondered where it all had originated. There is a book out called “Death of the Grown-up” by Diana West . She has a blog and syndicated column (Wash. Times, Townhall and others. I wondered for years how the Greatest Generation could produce the Worst; she explained it. I want to read it again, but my daughter saw it and confiscated it, has read it twice now & refers to it often. I send her emails & prints of DW’s columns.
