    Still only ONE Alien? I would have thought more? Some must still be incognito.

    The people who actually enacted those movements and passed the legislation were born in the 20s and 30s. Women’s suffrage, civil rights. Boomers were young during those times. They lived it, but didn’t DO it.

    The Stones?
    The civil rights movement?
    The SecondWave of Feminism?
    Do you even try to read what you comment on?
    That was all boomers.
    Might add putting a man on the moon as well.

    Neil Armstrong was born in 1930.
    The boomers neutered the space program.

    John Lennon was born in 1940, too old to be a boomer.

    Mick Jaggar born 1943, also too old to be a boomer.

    Just sayin'...

    Sorry. Boomers are late 30s and early 40s. WW2
    That is exactly why they are called BOOMERS!
    War babies. Also the Korean War.
    Neil Armstrong was one of many many people needed to get to the moon. One of the most important was JFK! Voted into office by Boomers.

    Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, John and Bobby Kennedy.....yeah...all assassinated...didn't matter when they were born but that happened on our watch as did the Watts riots and Kent State killings.....kids today don't remember the 60s or that the country has been built largely by shell shocked war veterans since the Civil War...the biggest anti war rallies in the 60s and early 70s were led by college students and Viet Nam vets...the biggest environmental impact protests were led by college students and young people...Green peace etc...to only think the elders from WWII did anything to change society is pretty shallow.

    By the way WW2 started in Europe in the 30s
    Both Mick Jagger and John Lennon were born during the war. Baby boomers.
