Michael Russell Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Roger, I'm looking forward to your posting of Jeff Riggenbach's works.I recently bought "In Praise of Decadence" and I'm looking forward to reading it, though I'm skeptical about Jeff's premise that the 60's generation were more libertarian than left-wing. I contend that they were neither. All things considered, the Boomers turned out to be quite a fascist bunch. Lefty Boomers gave us political correctness and righty Boomers gave us Christian conservatism. Generation X (my generation) and generation Y are far more libertarian than that of the Boomer generation.Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
