I have always resented being lumped in with the boomer's.
I was born in 1955, and when Carter was Pres, boy did that idiot get my attention. I was so happy Regan was running that I remember when he campaigned near me at Mile Square Park, I went to my first political stump speech. I was noticing the bias on TV news reporting back even then.
I always resented being lumped with the boomers, too. They seem flighty, self-indulgent and irresponsible to me. I was born in 1962 and have nothing in common with the Woodstock generation. I can barely remember Vietnam, so it had no effect on me. I do remember the gas lines under Carter and odd-even rationing. I voted for Reagan in 1980, the year I turned 18. I've never voted for a Democrat and I never will.
