Boat like a flutterby, bing like a stee !?

What other group gets defined by events that happened before it started grade school? Seriously, the country will be much better off when we're not constantly settling fights from the period 1941 - 1976 any more.

Few things would make me happier than to see it happen that the Clinton '90s were both the triumph of the campus '60s Left and its last gasp, with Hillary going into a museum of discarded enthusiasms. Except she will of course become a Kennedyesque Senator-For-Life, devoting herself to destroying what's left of our liberties.
