But there are/were a lot of profoundly admirable things about them, or to come from/through them as well. They came from some of the greatest badasses ever, both male and female.

I was around a lot of great old timers and am very grateful for having been taught respect for not only them, but what all they had gone through, creating our folks and us and ours along the way. The oldsters were a hard core trip to meet and mingle with.

There were lots, all kinds. Anyway, there were a lot of boomers there listening to them each time, but I was the only Xer ever. I went to the houses of the most interesting ones and did more interviews and such, some I even made DVDs of, and gave to the Society. Oh, and they didn't have any edgelords, which was mostly pleasant, but it would'a been cooler if they did.
