I was born the same year as Rush: 1951. About as Boomer as you can get. Never had any use for the peace/love/Woodstock crowd -- I was a techno-geek. Guys like me wanted to work in the space program, which is as far from "dropping out" as can be imagined.

The Woodstock crowd is disproportionately represented in the mediacracy, and they skew everyone's perception of culture accordingly. But this, too, shall pass.

Can't wait. My kids are Xers, and all as conservative as you could wish. Let's bring it on!

Gen Xers on FR put us all in the Woodstock crowd which was a microscopic percentage. They believe Cronkite and blame you and me. My Gen X kids were raised by a stay at home mom and are as conservative as their dad. They never generalize either. Too many Gen X'ers are mad at their mommy and daddy.
