Certainly not anything close to what I was around during high school and college. Most of the folks I knew and saw were MUCH different than that. 'Course I wasn't exposed to the TV propaganda of the time either. No tv for us in Japan - didn't convert over our boob tube, and got way out of the habit of watching tv while there, and that stuck for a looooong time after returning to the States. Most my 'peers' were hard working normal run of the mill kids - summer jobs, high school football and such. All of 'em 'boomers' - solid folk for the most part.

Could be just different geography - Midwest/West Texas versus the fringe concentrations along BOTH coasts - then and now.

Re: “The hippies and commie protestors (yes, they WERE commies, directed by Russia, proven in documents left behind in East Germany after the wall fell) were HARDLY the majority of the 'boomer population' - although their whining and crying certainly received the MAJORITY of media attention.”I didn't mean to suggest that they were. The majority were the complacent do-nothings who stood around with their hands in their pockets, smoking weed while the hippy-commies made them think that obscene, destructive, low-life behavior was cool... and that everything their fathers stood for and worked to create was uncool, vile and corrupt.
