WHere have all the flower children gone?
This question is closed to anyone under 40 please. Also try to keep it from being partisan. I know the left thinks they sold out and the right thinks they grew up. I am wondering on an individual basis, why did the children of the 60's who didn't trust the establishment become the establishment. From hippies to yuppies. And how did the generation of the environment and ideals become so close minded (both left and right wing)and stop caring. I would love to hear a former flower childs response of how they changed?
We thought things were better-that things were changed and on the right path. We believed things were forever changed and we quit worrying. -then we got married and had children and got busy with day-to-day life. In spite of who we were, we were also our parents' children and thought we'd be rewarded for having the right house, getting the right house, having our children in the right school or right soccer team. We got so busy we paid little attention to politics(except for voting), partly because we thought younger people would take the torch. Although there were some problems(Watergate) they seemed to get taken care of by Congress-we thught voting worked. I think it's denial for the left or right(the definitions on those were different back then too!) Republicans stood for fiscal conservatism, smaller Govt, personal & states rights I know, hard to believe). A Republican from the 60's 70's even 80's would look like a Democrat compared to Republicans today. It all changed in the '80s. Both Republicans and Democrats or Moderates have been fooled. I really didn't wake up to the reality until my son was grown and the current govt came into power. Also, how do you tell your kids you railed against authority and smoked pot?!!! So, for me, I am today more like I was many years ago but I'm not in my corporate job any longer and my son is grown. I have never seen so much anger and name-calling between the parties rather than real discussion. I'm worried that younger people don't understand that things have changed so. I do care! We've been fooled. Of course, many of us boomers are fleeing to foreign countries to retire! But we hope the "youngers" will take over.
