To push the idea on to people right now is unrealistic. When i say communist i do mean the boomer who said he was one. So keep that in mind.

Communism in general is not relevant today; it's just something conservatives throw at liberals.

You are not listening. A communist America is an ideal that an idealistic boomer wanted. My point is that some ideals are unrealistic. This has NOTHING to do with conservatives and what they say. I swear it seems i am speaking another language sometimes. I type it out clearly and plainly but you still read something entirely different. I KNOW it is not relevant today. But to some idealistic folk it isn't. This applies to other unrealistic and unsustainable ideals also. The point also is how other generations see the idealistic 60s as that will shape the future.

No Tara. Communism was NOT the ideal of the Boomer generation. Just because you knew one, does not mean anything. One person does not a generation make. This has everything to do with conservatives, because the only real "communists" are those in their minds. It is their slogan to put down liberals, and those are the only "communists" who exist. That is what Galen and other cynical Xers do. They call us "communists." If you need to learn about them, go ahead. But I am older and I know all about them.

The idealistic 60s will shape the future, or we will not have one. It is up to all generations to see that, and to help in that quest. Or to stand in the way and cause our destruction. It's that simple. It is the opponents of 60s idealism who are creating the unsustainable world. They are the ones putting Republicans into office to block all action to preserve and sustain our world-- now in danger from corporate greed and exploitation. They do not understand the need for peace and ecological awareness, which is what GI Generation member Alan Watts helped many Boomers to understand in the 60s. Of course ideals need to be practical; I already admitted that, so you don't need to keep prattling on about it to me.

Eric you are not listening to me. Where did i say ALL boomers were commies? Like wtaf?! I said ONE boomer!!! ONE! But idealism OF ALL KINDS NEEDS TO BE REALISTIC AND HAVE PEOPLE AGREE WITH THAT IDEAL. YOUNGER PEOPLE AS WE ARE THE FUTURE. NOW IT IS IN CAPS DO ....YOU......UNDERSTAND??? Seriously, you are not really this slow are you?

Of course ideals need to be practical; I already admitted that, so you don't need to keep prattling on about it to me. What about that do you not understand? Seriously, you are not really this slow are you?
