Rather than overcome this they attached to consumer items; Shopping therapy. Before we cast stones at this generation (present company excepted of course) for not breaking free of the wheel of history what about our own? <br /><br />The PC and the SJW generations are just as passive and addicted, just as unenlightened and unphilosophical. Just happens that the puppet strings we're supposed to dance to today pull in a different direction but we're as hooked on whatever tune the Pied Piper plays as any Boomer.<br />Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315796390662297759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-78950919242600028932018-06-10T17:07:31.574+12:002018-06-10T17:07:31.574+12:00The good old days before the world went mad.The good old days before the world went mad.Mark Wahlberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959889940311304180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-75162278481414294542018-06-10T10:46:03.566+12:002018-06-10T10:46:03.566+12:00The baby boomers endured the massive but necessary...The baby boomers endured the massive but necessary changes that happened under rogernomics.20+% interest rates, the loss of work etc,but which has lead to the vast improved living standards that people enjoy today that doesn't seem to be appreciated by the current generation.There were different challenges and bugger all political correctness less rules and regulations and I think people were happier then, they didn't know any different.
