TK go reread what I wrote, you can blame your parents for ammending laws... but you can't blame your parents for your actions under them.

Your parents weren't the ones divorcing at ratest that were the highest in the world..... They weren't the ones embracing abortion as birth control.

I have said it from the begining of this thread... My issues with the boomers (and yes I know there are many great ones) are not so much in the legal politcal world, but in the societal world and the legacy their own direct actions have brought.

You can't say... Well yea, our generation had the highest rates of divorce.. but its all because the latter part of our parents generation made it easier for us to do it... That completely ignores personal responsibility in the matter. Just because something is LEGAL does not mean you do it.

Your generation ran with these things... not only lived under them.. RAN WITH THEM.. and even after the fact, adn with the overwhelming damage done by them, try to pass the buck on em.

I'm sorry, but you just can't do that and be honest.

I agree that its only been since about the 80s that boomers have been starting to measurably accumulating politcal power at the national level... and there may still be time for the generation to close strong.. and personally I hope they do.

My criticism of the boomer generation is not the laws coming out of Congress. Its the behavior and atttitudes and the effects they have had on the social make up of this nation. Many of which have been horrible detrimental.
