P.DiEnna Jr Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:34:46 +0000 http://www.whiskeyandgunpowder.com/?p=3389#comment-687 This is in response to Doug Casey's article, Foundations of Crisis, I feel, as a "Boomer"(1946 to 1964), I had to correct some of the misconceptions that were in Mr Casey's article. The first is that the "Boomers" only consisted of the Hippies and Yippies, you may recall that all of the servicemen and women that fought and died in Vietnam were mostly "Boomers". These are the same narcissistic, presumptuous, self righteous and ruthless people who gave us computers, cellphones and basically changed the way that we did business. They are also the Doctors and Scientists and teachers who have given us new ways to keep people healthy, curb global warming, dedicated their life to teaching the next generation or generations of young people and even given us Viagra. As a person who was born in the first year of the "Boomer" era and one who is still contributing to making this planet a better place to live, I take offense to comments made from someone, who from your picture, is a Boomer or has had a very "rough paper route". Yes, some of our group demonstrated against the war and caused basic unrest but that was the very vocal minority that has impressed you as representative of our entire era. I am proud to be a "Boomer" and a part of the dramatic changes we have just changed our motto, as the commercial says. to "Don't Trust Anyone Over Ninety".
