Virtue and vice are properties of individuals, not of groups of people according to birth date. The concept of group guilt was one practiced by the early Bolsheviks with their emphasis on proletarian birth. The mindset rightfully belongs to Bolsheviks, not conservatives.
I found the piece kind of revolting and insulting.
I thought the show made some interesting points. One of the more interesting points was the difference in personal risks faced between partnerships (which in the past ruled Wall Street) and today’s corporations.
Once again, as in the GoreBull warming cult, denial of the truth prevails as society defies to hold individuals to the virtues of self accountability. The philosophical notion wasn't targeted as to one of the largest influences to the reprecussions of society's own ills.
While I will admit I did not see the broadcast I’m in complete agreement that we should not fall into the trap of painting a whole generation of people with such a broad brush. At this point it really is counterproductive to splinter ourselves for the purposes of an elixir for our current woes. If anything, we need to come together on a generational basis to repair the damage done to our great nation.
That group guilt has always been the raison d’être for extermination of classes of people by socialist regimes from Le Directoire to the bolsheviks to to Pol Pot.
Maybe so. However, we will all be better off when all these old liberal hippies are pushing up Daisies. This GROUP has been a parasite for way too long.
