63. In the 60s we majorily disrespected our 'square' parents
Are you kidding?! We're not being disrespected just because our children are angry. They have a right to be angry at what they face. We were angry at our parents. They had sold out to The Man. They were so stupid in our eyes!

It sure as hell isn't their fault everything has turned to crap. I don't think it's the entire Boomer generation's fault because we were always split into a schizophrenic personality generation with half of us wanting to move into a relaxed and anti-establishment future that we could envision so well when we were young and the other half kept their crew cuts and became the good Republicans. Women moved into the workplace knowing we would change everything, but the 'establishment' won. The world was still ruled by the same old men. Bush and Dick Armey are Boomers too and I certainly can't blame the younger generation for being angry about that because I'm angry about it too. Who else can they blame?

And really, who else is to blame about things as they are now if not us?
