We had too much respect for the generation that raised us to do that.

I'm sorry, but wasn't it your generation that coined the term "don't trust anyone over 30"? I think boomers who weren't military or boomer women who didn't have kids, should have the benefits drastically cut.

Well, not my generation per se. It was a hippie/yippie fellow named Jerry Rubin who came up with that phrase and the media was so enamored of that kind of nonsense it got a lot of play. I think these inter-generational discussion would make more sense if we didn't generalize, because those generalizations wrongly insult a lot of good people.

US Navy, '66 to '70. Viet Nam '68 -'69.

There were a lot of us who weren't left-wingers, but you never heard much about that, because the MSM got so wrapped up in that "youth revolution" crap it tarred us all with the same brush.

While it's true the hippy generation of the late 60's opened the door to much of today's cultural ills, it is this new-age, narcissistic generation that is forming the groundwork for a new battle cry: "don't let anyone over age 65 live". It is your generation of morally depraved, self-absorbed, sexually obsessed, droopy-pantsed, Godless morons who are turning America into a nihilistic cesspool.

================================================

Ah, the ignorance of children....that phrase was from a TV movie written by a guy who was nearly sixty at the time, a time when the oldest boomer wasn't out of his twenties.
