- Ended the draft
- Stopped the war in Vietnam
- Made abortion legal
- Woman's rights, a lot of young people have no idea what it used to be like
- The Voting Rights Act of 1965
- The Civil Rights Act of 1964
- Clean Air Act of 1965
- Clean Water Act
- Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards
- Closed the gap in the ozone
- Brought young people most of the technology that they use to put down those who came before them.
- Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
- The safest air travel we've ever experienced

And the list goes on and on. I just happen to think many people take for granted what people did before them, pretty much like my generation did in regards to our parents and grandparents. Instead of putting down an entire generation, it would be better to take what is good and build on that, while eliminating anything that no longer serves the good of the people.

And once again, we gave the world the best music ever!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
