Wait just a darn minute. I was born in 68 and have been led to believe that the hippies and the protesters and the rioters have changed the world for the better. Shoot, they single-handedly won the Vietnam war, created equality among all peoples and reformed the American political process. If you watch enough TV you would know that every great achievement of the last 40 years can be chalked up to flower children.

LOL! Yeah, my son was born in ‘68 and we had a toddler also, I don’t quite remember it that way. The few flower children I was ever around caused me to make a hasty retreat due to their body odor.

HA! I taste the irony! But of COURSE the hippies saved the world, young grasshopper- mostly by the majority of them frying their peabrains on dope and being completely useless.

I was a teenager in 68 and graduated class of 69. I thought being a hippie was a whole lot of fun- and then I grew up. The entire generation of Boomers will have MUCH to answer for when we stand before our Creator.

I thank the one thing the hippies couldn’t forsee- the tech revolution- for our being able to forestall certain destruction of our “grand experiment” in self-government.
