So marijuana and STDs are a character issue, you say... is it a character issue with an entire generations that started with Boomers, or just some? And what caused the “character” that drove people to smoke & screw? Or does marijuana and screwing cause bad character? What’s the root cause here? Tell us more.
Baby Boomers are the first generation to be raised entirely with television. Just like the social media of today, the increased communication has both positive and negative impacts. Review the Baby Boomer years progression of television advertising (by Greatest Generation managers)... sex, sex, and more sex. Look at the movies - 007 Bond to Deep Throat. Then we are told drugs kill you, stay away, just say no and much of the time this message is from people pitching alcohol and tobacco and we find marijuana is not crack or heroin... so Baby Boomers learned that media lies. Some have the character to question authority. Others do not.
