On Howard Stern Today

I fully plan on linking up to Howardstern.com soon and posting things up on the site, since they talk about it a lot on the show. Today Robyn brought in her nephew, a high school grad going to MIT next year. Everyone was so proud of how smart the kid was...they started talking a little about the war and the kid, although shy, clearly was the voice in favor of the Iraq war. Now the kid wasn't in favor of Bush, but he clearly thought the war was a good idea - and this is a theme I think goes a little unnoticed. The kids of the baby boomers don't think it's cool to be left-wing. It was cool for our parents to be left-wing...and hence, uncool for their kids to follow. It's not to say being right-wing is cool, but there's no romance in being anti-war, as there was during Vietnam. I mean, honestly, who really wants to be like Michael Moore?

Generations are interesting.
