I get real resentful when the baby boomer shit starts to fly around here.

We BB'rs laid the groundwork for activism in this country. Instead of hiding behind a computer and bitching & moaning over how Obama is betraying his base, for instance, we were on the streets getting gassed and beaten over the heads with clubs, arrested, ridiculed, called commies, and risking our futures by burning draft cards and refusing to fight in an illegal war.


There is nothing like riding the subway in Boston while wearing a peace sign on your army jacket and getting hassled by "patriots" who want to kick the shit out of you, but you keep wearing that Jacket & sign every single day anyway because you didn't mind sticking your neck out for a cause.
