I can understand a certain amount of revulsion towards the boomers as I too have felt it as well at times. You said we "came out of Camelot and blew it" which has a measure of truth in it, however you might want to remember that we "made" Camelot....it just didn't appear. We came out of the very sedate and complacent 1950s and we changed just about every aspect of society, opening the world's eyes to the possibility of world peace and "giving a shit" about the next guy, whether he be next door or across the ocean. I too am saddened about how we "dropped the ball" and allowed the Reagan Administration to unravel almost everything we did to that point. Our bad! I have chosen to view the the 60's in an different, more empowering way as there was much good that came from it and much that we can learn from the mistakes we made. OK?
