Very baby boomerish. Dismiss anyone who disagrees with you.
Steve — That was rather my point about Prelutsky’s piece: close-minded, disagreeable, as well as just a nasty laundry list of accusations and attitude.
It’s usually forgotten in these discussions that most young people of that time were not rebelling, dropping out, doing drugs, attending demonstrations etc.
I hardly think that the sixties generation was above criticism, but Prelutsky and other commenters in this thread are basically venting. A classic sixties tactic and mistake was to confuse emotional conviction with truth.
