I actually stole that book and somebody stole it from me later on. Abby Hoffman - another boomer hero - at least he had the class to kill himself.
But seriously friend... your trashing of 60s and the Boomers I think is a bit unfair. If you define the Boomers as slackers and hold them responsible for Vietnam and unrest over being drafted, racism and drug abuse, then we should likewise trash the generations from the 30's for bringing us WWII and the generations from the 20's for bringing us a depression. The Boomers were indeed crippled by the Vietnam war. I would suggest that it wasn't so much the boomers who fumbled Vietnam as it was the generations of Johnson and Nixon who failed to give us a clear and impelling reason to win that war, instead just demanding "more troops". And then there's the media. I would also point out that Boomers were the first generation to be raised entirely on television. This media weapon grew of age during the 60s and Boomers were the first to be massively manipulated by pictures of bleeding babies in their living rooms and endless commercials for "extra strength pain relievers". All things considered, it's no wonder so many "tuned out" in one way or another.
