I am too old to be a Baby Boomer, but I view the 60s as the beginning of the extended adolescence that we see in today’s youth. No job, no responsibility, not much of anything as long as you extended your schooling. I remember well the young male “war protesters” who admittedly stayed in college to avoid the draft (and also to delight in the drugs, sex and rock and roll that went with it.) That was the only real committment of the so-called Flower Children. Nothing but hypocrites then and now.
