What Happened in the Sixties? |
|
   |
|
|
So you're doing a project on the sixties, huh? Maybe you want to show
your kids why the sixties were so special. Or you want to see if the
sixties were really as terrific as you remember them. Well, you are not
alone.
"The 60s undoubtedly were the most turbulent years of the century." - Walter Cronkite. Try "The Sixties Quiz," or select "The Sixties - A Summary" to see how we boomers looked at what happened in the the sixties. "The Boomer Years" lists the major news and social events for a specific year, and "The Boomer Music" gives you a taste of the music that defined the boomers. "The Boomer Essays" offer insights from a boomer looking at today... and yesterday. Vietnam - From a Distance explains the Vietnam War from a middle-aged boomer's viewpoint. For adults, it offers some needed perspective on a period we all remember. For kids, it is a clear and concise explanation of this horribly tragic and enormously devisive part of our youth.

BBHQ Boomer-in-Charge Hershel Chicowitz always has something to say, offering a boomer perspective on current events:
In This Week with the Chicowitz,
Hershel shares a letter from a listener to Glenn Beck which speaks for many of us:
"Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We
don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans
are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that
matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and
seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We
entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are
dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to
us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency
loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you
will be fired. Did you hear?"
