Just a small history lesson. :)

Right, it is not like every generation is not self-absorbed. The difference with the baby boom generation is there were so many of us. There were so many of us that from the beginning to close to the end advertisers have focused on the biggest consumer group out there. That is the nature of selling.

But who in the world do you guys think elected Ronald Reagan?

Concerning the subject at hand, Viet Nam and the current election, Kerry said an unbelieveable MA thing about it recently. He said that he thought time/history showed him right on Viet Nam? What an utter and complete fool. If there is a consensus about Viet Nam it is that it was a poorly run war but a most noble cause. It showed us that the people of a democracy are not willing to sacrifice over too long a period for the freedom of other, particularly when the generation fighting dominates the society demographically. But certainly time/history has show that Kerry was on the WRONG side of that war intellectually as he is today concerning Iraq. The people of Viet Nam then no more than the people of Iraq today deserve to be enslaved. And Kerry was on the side of turning his back on the people of Viet Nam and comdemmng them to slavery and oppression then as he voted to turn his back on the people of Iraq today.

In some ways with Viet Nam this was understandable. Americans can not fight everyone's battle for freedom. The difference is today that the US was attacked and is ala WWII defending itself in a world wide battle.

438 A.D. Flavius Aetius on Attila the Hun "Rome Produces few such men these days"

Only 38 years later in 476 the Roman Empire was no more and Aetius went down in history known as "The Last Roman"

So sometimes they are correct about their assements of the next generation.

The baby boomers are Not done causing damage and it's going to be hard to undo all the damage they done, I hope hundreds of years from now George W. Bush isn't known as the Last American
