You can't be neutral!!!!
Monday on the Sundance channel I saw a documentary on Howard Zinn. Who is Howard Zinn you might ask? Well, Howard Zinn is on the most important voices to come out of the 60's. No he is not a baby boomer, in fact he's old enough to be their parent and unlike baby-boomers he stick to his principles.
In the late fifties he was one of the first people to give voice to those oppressed by segregation in the south. In the sixties he fought against young men dying needlessly in Viet Nam (unlike the baby-boomers today who think it is now alright to send young men to their deaths in Iraq).
As you can tell this man has fought for true justice his whole life. He reminds of my late grandmother, who although she was to busy raising 2 kids to get involved stuck with her beliefs until her death a few moths ago. Compare that to my parents generation. The selfish me first, fuck everyone else baby-boomers. They only cared (and still do) about what was in fashion. If you need any proof look in the White House!!! It's fashionable to be fed misinformation from the GOP and their agents: Fat ass Viagrabaugh, Glenn (I got a small) Peckerhead, Ann I am a Cunt-ler.
Generation X, my generation, where labeled by the boomers as lazy and apathetic. Well assholes, after being raised (or ignored) by you fuckos, how else are we supposed to be!!!!! Remember one thing, WE will cure cancer. WE will bring balance to the government. And hopefully WE will make sure our country makes sense again.
We remember the past. That is why we bring voices like Dr. Zinn back from the obscurity that you people put him in when you decided it wasn't in to oppose FW. This is a war for the minds of America. You had you turn. Now is the time to give it back the ones who will be paying for your Depends when you are too old to wipe your own ass!!!
As Dr. Zinn said : "You can't be Neutral!!". So boomers, choose a fucking side and we will choose ours. I had a teacher who was my parents age say to me and my classmates, "I weep for the future." Funny. We were in the 3rd grade. Nice bit of class from the boomers don't you think?
Support independent film and keep music dangerous.

you truly can't ride 2 horses with one ass! should be interesting to see who comes out of the woodwork in 08!
so, jonronnie... i agree that it isn't in anyone's best interest to be neutral; however, to say that all boomers are alike is to say that all niggers look the same so you can't pick one out in a crowd... i happen to be a boomer who is also a feminist... i stood up against racial discrimination and the vietnam war in the '60s and continue to be against discrimination of any type and am staunchly against this so-called war on terror... i support women's rights and the rights of all people to be self-determinate, i am pro-choice and pro-peace... furthermore, i absolutely did NOT vote for george w bush and deplore everything he stands for so please do not lump me into a general category, it's like putting a round peg into a square hole!!!
Dear Momma Bear,
Please do not take offense to the post. I was speaking to those who switched sides. Those of you who remain true to your beliefs are unfotunatley in a minority. I respect people who understand that those things they said they stood for are important. I have found that people who came out of the 60's and came into the 90's don't always feel the same as you do.
It's like the guys who dug Pearl Jam, them switched to Toby Keith. They did it for fashion.
Mama 04 raves about you and what you believe and I am grateful that you are there to keep her on the path to true salvation. You are a kick-ass momma bear!!!! I would never accuse you of all people of voting for FW. Now my mother on the other hand......
Keep the faith momma bear!

through the course of social movements, all things are possible.
p.s. momma bear totally kicks ass!! i agree!!! i strive to be like her in many ways. =)
just in case anyone cares... momma bear does kick ass! so it's unanimous!
