Someone at work relayed to me a recent study on marriage taken back in the 50's or so. Those women questioned responded overwhelmingly that their marriage was good because they were 'rarely' hit by their husbands.
This generation of adults, particularly the Southern ones, were also the ones who put up the most resistance to negro rights back in the day.
It's no wonder that the Baby Boomer generation was so reactionary, divorcing on a dime and violating the smalltown America/nuclear family notion at every turn.
It's also no wonder that Generation X, my generation, is so jaded and fed up with ignorance and hypocrisy. We've watched the example of our parents and grandparents and we are pissed about the stupid behavior. Grow up, come to or die off. It's a new world, and we're finally taking control of it. For better or for worse. Probably worse. I'm intelligent, not idealistic.
This has been brought to you under the influence of Red. I just bought a case of it, so a lot of these will probably be being brought to you as such.
