Don't worry....as I just said, if you weren't trying to flaunt every convention this country had you don't even have to be concerned. (For the "Flaunters" think Fonda, and Kerry, Clinton, Durbin, Howard Dean here (among others) Wiki describes boomers as 1945- 1964, but that probably means those conceived in 1945...This link shows some of the more famous boomers...so as I said, not all of them were out raising H*ll in their growing up years....However many more were....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomer This more serious link tells more about this generation born from 1946-1964.... en.wikipedia.org

Uh, it was the generation previous to the Boomers that put the Reds in Hollywood- -the "Great Generation". Communism was popular then. We'd just pulled out of the Depression- -considered an obvious failure of capitalism- -and Communism was seen as the wave of the future. They were also our allies in WW2. General Patton caught **** more than once for mildly knocking the commies. I'm a boomer. Do I fit KLP's mold? How about you? I didn't riot. I did work in Barry Goldwater's Presidential campaign. And HIS fate in that campaign was NOT determined by Boomers. The oldest of us were only 18 then and couldn't vote. Most of the grunts shooting at the Cong in the Rice fields of Vietnam instead of tearing UC-Berzerkeley apart? They were Boomers. The brush being used for this smear job is a little wide, don't you think?
