Isn't about time for all the 60's flower children to report to their local disintegration station? In fact anyone of a certain age should have to be euthanized - just this once so we can rid ourselves of them. As a Gen X'r I've seen a lot of heinous things that were the direct effect of what these people have changed - And I among millions are not happy about it. Furthermore when they are in their dotage, I will be more than happy to make them miserable, in their last days.
I have predicted this for quite awhile, now. We Boomers will have a lot to answer for, and when we get old, those younger than us who reaped the worst of what the Boomer generation wrought, will be glad to bump us off. Boomers maybe didn't invent them, but they massively popularized (among other things) divorce, sexual promiscuity, abortion, and structurally simplistic, angry, chronically adolescent negative music -- NOT LYRICS, but MUSIC.
Newer generations haven't yet comprehended that truly horrific musical legacy and its long-term psychological effects on a nation's psyche. On the other hand, listen to the music (who cares about the lyrics, I'm talking music) of the WWII generation. It's music for grown-ups. It's complex, optimistic, INTERESTING, and inspiring -- No wonder they won the war.
Another Boomer boomerang is their liberal stalling and objecting to further space exploration and pioneering ("We need to solve problems here on earth, first!" Like that day will ever come). Our future survival as a free nation will hinge on our capabilities to master space technology. The country that dominates space, WILL dominate the rest of the planet. Just like England, a little tiny nation that nonetheless mastered the seas, and thereby built an empire on which "the sun never set."
But, Waterleak, don't blame me! I was ten years old in the Summer of Love (1967) and even then knew college-age hippies were shallow sheep, rebelling out of peer pressure and for rebellion's sake. I was especially pissed off at the protesters of the Viet Nam war (click on my screen name) because I believed that Communism was as cruel as the grave. As a teen in the '70s, I didn't fit in with my generation, not with the politics and not even with the music -- aside from a few interesting groups like Jethro Tull, the Beatles, the Moody Blues, Santana, and others, I found the music tedious, predictable, whiny, negative, juvenile, and boring. And now the stupid idiotic liberal Boomers are advocating euthenasia, mercy-killing, etc. They are signing their own death warrants.
