<<How would you know this? Were you there? I was ...Ahem... pardon me but Bovine excreta !.>>

You're right, I was only in 4th grade during the summer of love. But that does make me bald and middle aged, so am I a boomer or a genX'er?

The counter culture I saw were the burnouts the finished the social revolution. They didn't protest anything that had meaning. Come'on, gay rights, can't they find a better reason to get togethor and light up?

Those nester's are the people I work with. I'm a geezer geek, a former IBM mainframe guy turned networks (thank God for Unix!)

I wouldn't call the people I work with the "me" generation, unless you mean, "My family, My God, and My job first!"

What's so wrong with that?

Oh, and I did say that the good that came out of the 60's was gains in civil rights, and womens rights. But, really, you guys should have done a better job raising your kids. The crime rate just hit a low not seen since 1967. That means it was lower before the summer of love.
