GOD Bless ya! Great Photos!
Thanks for sharing....
I was a registered democrat and voted for Nixon - I don't think the indoctrination worked. It did get a lot of my friends and family highly pissed, though.
It nice to walk down that lane every once in awhile...:)
In short, some blame the greatest, most free, complacent, accepting, strongest, happiest, most wanted by others, deserving of progress, lifestyle for this political way of life, is to blame for the phrase, "life's a b!tch and human progress is to blame for it"!

New Study Of the Baby Boomer Generation Reveals Surprising Insights
The Baby Boomer Generation is generally thought to include those born after World War II from 1946-1964 inclusive.
While there is some debate about the exact years, statisticians generally accept the definition as being valid.
Others have attempted to define the generation along experiential lines, breaking the years into broad common ground. For instance, those born in 1964 probably share very little experience with those born in 1946.
Birth rates soared in the post war years as the US experienced a period of rapid economic growth. 1955 marked top of the birth rate bubble known as the Baby Boom.
There are approximately 76 million Baby Boomers and they represent the single largest demographic group in existence today.
However, if any of you thinks the next word could possibly be something other than but, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.
This line is so overused, it's so hackneyed. She is out of ideas, plain and simple.
Steinhorn's but is a big one, and justly aimed. He points out that the Greatest Generation came home from World War II to an America that was racially segregated, restricted by sex roles, bigoted against gays and environmentally ignorant, and that it wasn't until the flowering of the Boomers in the sixties that progress in these areas became a reality. And in that progress, he stakes the claim for his generation's superiority.
Steinhorn is an ardent and impassioned Boomer-booster, and in an era when liberal has become a label that even liberals wear reluctantly, he is providing a very useful service. The change in America that has accompanied this generation's march through life has been profound, and because America changed, the world followed. For all the sideshows that encumbered the '60sthe sex, the drugs, the music, the hairthe ultimate legacy of the period is a Great Moral Leap Forward, such that America is now more publicly committed to equal opportunity, diversity, fairness and environmental preservation than at any time in our history. And the fruits of this progress are among our country's greatest ornaments.
Great moral leap forward? What's that, the moral leap recently reported of 74 out of 100 pregnancies in NY resulting in abortion? The moral leap of elevating barren, disordered homosexuality to parity with fecund and restorative heterosexuality? The moral leap of at least half the population going back on its pledge to 'love, honor and obey, till death do them part?' The moral leap of a decline in literacy, and the fact that an elderly woman riding any mass transport today can count on catching an ear-full of 'effin' this or 'effin that?
She hasn't a clue about what a moral leap is.
You think the Battle of the Bulge was bad? You should have been there when they popularized birth-control pills.
Agree with your sentiments, but the figure is that there are 74 abortions for every 100 births, or 74/174 -- about a 42% abortion rate -- a statistic which is so horrible as to be incomprehensible to me.

I think she meant "plunge" instead of "leap" and we don't seem to have hit bottom yet.

Only in sense of sheer numbers...
My parents and my 2 sisters had this whole discussion this weekend over baby boomers. My mom said we were the ME generation and spoiled just trying to spend our way into debt and we were the reason america is screwed up.
My sisters and I made it clear to her that W and many other great americans who are boomers have made this world a better place.
Would never want to change one thing in my life!
Yes, I agree we are here and we are not going away, so deal with it Greatest Generation and x-ers.
"My mom said we were the ME generation and spoiled just trying to spend our way into debt and we were the reason america is screwed up."
Perhaps you should have asked your mom who raised the boomers, since they turned out so badly. >:D
Then there's this >>> http://generationjones.com/index_old.htm
Oh please! I was only joking. Chill dude. You Boomers take yourselves too seriously and this is what annoys the non-boomers or us born on the cusp. Turn on, tune in and drop out. Some of my best friends are former hippies. LOL
But seriously there were some very good things I remember about the Sixties. The space race and Moon landing for example really comes to my mind. I just re-watched Apollo Thirteen the other night. What amazing men these guys were. I remember watching all the coverage on TV, from Gemini through Apollo. My mother would even let me stay up late or get me up early so I wouldnt miss anything. And I had all my National Geographic maps so I could track landing sites on the Moon and splashdowns in the Pacific.
Other great things I remember about the Sixties was the music from Motown to the Beachboys to the Beatles, Get Smart and Green Acres and Flipper, The Wonderful World of Disney, John Wayne flicks, my first pair of bell bottom jeans, my third grade teacher, Captain Crunch Cereal, my dads big V-8 Chrysler the first car we had with AC and power windows and the all the miles we logged in it during our family vacation from PA to Myrtle Beach and back in 69, and of course the brave men and women who valiantly served our county in Vietnam despite all the protesters here at home.
What do you consider the best of the Sixties?
Thanks for the clarification.
No doubt some opportunistic right-wing scribe is energetically pitching Regnery Press on the merits of prosecuting Boomers for their various crimes against humanity
Yup...
One million dead in Cambodia, and a million boat people from Viet Nam.
Ignoring the genocides in Bosnia, Ruanda, The Congo, Angola, Mozambique etc.
40 million abortions
Neglecting children so you can "do your own thing"
the death of marriage as an institution
