Hippies were not young people who invented themselves, as boomers now want us to believe.

Where did you get that!?? Most boomers had no association withe the hippies other than the fact that we were all in the same age group.

You may rest well assured that there isn't a Boomer that I know who wants to either be associated with the hippies or who believes that the hippies were invented by Boomers.

>>>there isn’t a Boomer that I know who wants to either be associated with the hippies or who believes that the hippies were invented by Boomers<<<

I know (or at least have met) a ton of them. That’s not to smear all “Baby Boomers,” not at all. I came at the tail end of the boom, I guess, and I sure ain’t no hippie.

But if you live in or around any university town, as I have had to do for long stretches of my life, you meet one after another after another of “Boomers” who think sex, love, peace, life, history and truth were invented somewhere between the moonshot and the evacuation of Saigon.

They are virtually all foolish and fundamentally helpless, of course, but they think, along with our disgrace of a President, that he in fact is the “One” they have been waiting for.

Except of course for those (Bill Ayers, Michael Moore, et al.) who think he is too conservative.
