[Bonaparte]

Modern kids want to know why something has to be done and will not simply accept "because I said so." They are also able to spot BS a lot more readily than their parents.

I was one of those 50s/60s kids you're talking about and you're dead wrong about us. We were not complacent automatons, blinded to the lies and contradictions around us. I was there, you weren't and you're wrong about us.

No one said you were. You (and I) however, are more likely to accept the pronouncements of authority more readily than kids today.
