39. "Being an old hippie is ALL I can brag about." ?? Well, we here at DU know THAT'S not all you

have to brag about! Happy Birthday madokie!

Remember when we thought we'd not live to see 30 years? Between the Cold War nuke nightmare, and Vietnam, and civil rights protests that turned violent, it was pretty easy to have that outlook.

Now, those of us, the ones that survived, have to keep up the energy to try to hold on to the progressive gains made from those times... ***sigh***

Here's a toast to you on your day, and your generation!
