You don't seem to conform too well, "Galen." The Word has eluded ya.
Quote: They always were nasty little tyrants. Eric the Obtuse is not nearly as enlightened as he thinks. Can't really distinguish facts from subjective taste.
Generalizations are approximate. But I think a lot of boomers were nasty little tyrants as kids. I grew up with them. They mellowed out considerably during the Awakening/2T and became love children. That was my experience. Then the 3T began, and right on the cue of the turning clock, us boomers went back to being tyrants again. Strange the way that happened. Makes me a believer in Strauss and Howe, "that I can tell you!" No, I am not as enlightened as I think. Or, whenever I think, I am less enlightened. Take your pick. But it's easy to be smarter than a doctrinaire libertarian like Mr. Galen, so no problem with me there lol
Quote:The seventies to me always had a surreal quality to it even if though I didn't use any of the common recreational pharmaceuticals. It was a decade I would just as soon done without.
We can say we could do without a decade, but in the end, time is all the same now. It's just time flowing by and staying the same too. There were good things, and things we didn't like, but maybe learned from, in all times. Even the shoddy and ridiculous 00s had some good things. But we are who we are now, because of where we traveled to get here.
