I'm too young to be a true baby boomer and too old to be a genXer - my parents are Korean Conflict generation, not WW2. But it was their generation (and Baby Boomer) that let the standards drop and the libs take over. I think of them and my friends' parents and the teachers I had that were their age and big government liberalism was epidemic among them. My sisters, their husbands and I are far more conservative - and so are all of our kids. My parents had no backbones, but I'm not sure if "putting their foot down" with me would have accomplished anything. I did my own thang. They let the "culture" take over with raising the kids, and it's a difficult task to hold the culture at bay now. Their idea of teaching me about boys was to watch "Summer of '42" and read "The Last Convertible" when I was 15.
I just have to make sure my teen-age kids recognize the source of the influence, even if they can't say no to it all now. They'll grow up eventually, and make the right choices.

Well, I gotta go again. I need to get to the hotel and get a shower and something to eat and take something for a headache. I'm afraid this vote thing has really upset me and made my headache worse than it was. I will check in tomorrow night. Y'all have a good evening.

Hugs to all y'all! Goodnight.

Oh, you ARE a Baby Boomer Val, you can't weasel out that easily.

Oh wait, I forgot to shave five to seven years off of your age as required by etiquette.

Maybe you DO slide in just under the wire for Gen X status.

There is NO middle ground either. Is you, or is you ain't??
