[Dr. Eckleburg]

The Boomers did not create the mind-numbed 60's -- the generation that went before them dreamed it up and spread it around.

Ostensibly written to eulogize the soldiers of WWII, it does nothing of the sort. It undermines their patriotism to the United States and willingness to risk and give their lives in its defense. Millions of Americans fought for in World War II, but it was not to enable their buddies to go home to their mother."

Great observation (although it was Tom Hanks whining soliloquy about returning to his "wife" that was so wretched.)

When it comes to serious topics, Spielberg is consistently wrong.

You mean the generation that created that phenom known as Rock and Roll and the term "teenager"?
