The idiots who fell for that, never even thought about the fact that the jerks who were promoting it/thought it up, were quickly approaching 40; yet they trusted and followed them! Heck, Abbie Hoffman et al weren't even BABY BOOMERS.
Adults can and should have fun, that's not the point at all. The point is, when you're an adult, it's long past time to stop acting stupidly immature!
I know, Abbie Hoffman is old enough to be my father, he was born in 1936, in my case, Mom in 1938 and Dad in 1937. Even in the 1960's, a lot of them were pushing 30 if not beyond it. I think there were some boomers who thought they would never get old or are afraid to, maybe that's part of it, I dunno. The Boomer's are really a unique generation. Still, not all of them were hippies and/or irresponsible, many of them are good people too so we need to watch the wide brush here. I'm an early model "X'er" myself, born in 1966.
Oooooooooo, what a lovely kitty!
You have eight cats? Holy cow!
She love to play with my phone line when I'm online so I have to watch her. B-) When she howls, you hear hear all over the house and she likes to run down in the cellar and I have to hunt her down. Yeap, pretty active for an 18 year old. B-)
I didn't plan on having 8 (9 when we have Muffin) cats, sort of turned out that way. If we still had Muffin, she would have turned 18 along with Pansy since she must have been born around the time Pansy was since she wasa kitten when my Aunt found her in 1987. A few days before my aunt passed away fom cancer in 1995, she asked us to take care of Muffin. She was a Burmese cat. In 2002, she had kidney problems and we kept her going for 2.5 years so I guess I couldn't ask for more.
Muffin b. 8-21-1987 d. 7-09-2004
We sort of settled on August 21 for Muffin.
