You know, during the 60s and 70s? Hippie movement was at full swing. Yellow Smiley faces were everywhere you looked. Life was much more simple and laid back. America was muc more intelligent. We had great music (not pre-recorded pop techno). Ah, don't you miss it?

Yea, the Politically Incorrect era is awesome (rolls eyes).

Hey, at least you could do whatever you wanted without being questioned. Plus, diseases weren't as widespread and numerous. This was the same with Crack/Cocaine as well.

It was a great time but only really lasted a couple of years. After Woodstock and the Monterrey Pop festival the commercial music world saw the money to be made off this new creative music and it went down hill from there. The line from the song'" they got long hair at Madison Square( read Madison Ave.)" was an indicator that what was hopeful about the time had been corrupted by the establishment. Not to leave out the part that drugs and drug dealers played. Mary Jane played with LSD and later got Smacked off her horse and now is the one turning tricks.

Hmmmm. I remember it well and sometimes I do miss it. I sure miss the 35 cent gallon of gas, my old baby blue Chrysler that we could stuff 8 kids into and the closeness of the neighborhood I grew up in. And boy do I wish George McGovern was in the White House right now. Sometimes I cry for Iraq, the shallowness of this time, the reversal of civil liberties and the passiveness with which we have accepted it all. But I don't miss the racial prejudice, campus violence and Vietnam War. I don't miss the measles, mumps and chickenpox my grandkids will never experience. I don't miss the panty girdle and I don't miss my bra. I don't miss being a secondclass citizen just because I'm a woman. "There is a season, turn, turn turn..." God, we really did have better music...my fifteen year old plays some of it on his iPod....Thanks for the memory!

Yeah, the baby boomers REALLY knew what the hell they were talking about.....Give me a break. Sticking your head in the sand and constantly repeating "everything is ok, people are naturally good, I want to feel good all the time, I want to be everyones friend, nothing bad will ever happen....." etc etc etc is quite possibly the worst sort of narcissistic world view. And that is exactly what they were--- self involved, selfish, over indulged, spoiled, and ultimately embarrassing.
PS> And they raised a generation of self involved, pseudo-victimized, over indulged whiners....Maybe the next wave of mass idealism will be everyone coming together to fix and reverse the cultural fallout of what happened because of the boomers.

Yes, but it was all just commercialism disguised as mass idealism. I miss some things, but not the hippies and dope culture.
Life is better today, so don't fret if you missed those years.
