Baby Boomers.....
(I'm shaking my head to myself)....what a screwed up, sorry pack of folks.
Btw. Hippie-ism did not die in 1971, I witnessed it throughtout the 70's as a small child. Pottery communes, stoned parents, bikers, divorce, self-indulgence. It wasn't pretty, though it was much nicer than the turn to New Ageism which was dark and evil and scary (I witnessed a parade of my parent's friends trot off to Rajneeshpuram in Eastern Oregon). Call it my Vietnam. I was scarred for life. On the positive side, however it confirmed my rationalist instincts and made me a better person. But I still want to strangle my father when he starts tallking about the White Buffalo...Instead I just shake my head. What a bunch of empty headed nitwits.
(Hey I think I have finally acheived the exact tone of a typical Boomer rant letter!! Yeah!! {pumping my fist in the air})
