Strange that you’ve ended two of your 5 post to me with such an out of the blue reference to homosexuality.
In every generation there was, are and will be people ignoring their generations faults and proclaiming the next to be going to hell in a hand basket. People often see what they want to see.
It's not out of the blue at all. I think it is, symbolically, the epitome of where the boomer generation has led us as a nation. If you assume a deviant, destructive lifestyle, then the modern life is of higher quality. If you have a traditional lifestyle, then the modern life is not.
