I accept your apology. Thank you.
I understand that a large group of my baby boomer peers did not have the self-discipline to control their behavior during the '60's, but your tagline is a comment that excuses it, and implies that there was something wrong with those of us who remained sober and moral.
I have never liked that..........nor have any of my many friends and family who also lived through the '60's and remember them well.
Actually.........the over indulgence of the self-absorbed baby boomers (not judging you.....I don't know you), is part of what has led to the mess we're in now with the anti-war, anti-morality, anti-personal responsibility "do whatever feels good" left.
As a conservative, I REALLY don't like what the '60's did to us as a country.

Well, this is really for another thread, but it is inappropriate to assume that all who indulged were self absorbed or immoral. I look at it from a more libertarian point of view. I see nothing with what I did. That implies absolutely nothing towards the rest of you.
I, and many I knew, went to work everyday, were productive and lawful people (outside of that aspect-which I consider a technicality anyway). What I did on my own time (I was college full time and worked full time, so I didn't have much free time) was my business. If I chose to smoke, no one else's business. As what you *didn't* do was yours.
Again, lighten up a little. Most of our generation grew up to be productive adults. It's just that some them never grew out of their naive liberalism. And as a consequence are now middle aged looney leftists wearing tin foil hats.
