That’s the problem with generalizations. In this case, the other problem is that they are 60% right.
No, they are not right.
I am good friends with two baby boomers who fit the stereotype - one who was a hippie and one who went to Woodstock. The first guy is one of the most hardworking, moral people I’ve ever known and the second has gone to work for Catholic Charities and is a very decent person with an intact family. PEOPLE GROW UP.
Most of the people who caused the trouble (like William Ayers, Jane Fonda) were of a different generation.
Baby boomers that I know were the ones who saved the golden age of Hollywood - loving the movies of their youth while Generation X whined: “They’re boring. They’re too slow. They’re in black and white.” Thanks to my fellow baby boomers, I can now enjoy the great American films of the 20th Century in the privacy of my home.
And, again, let us not forget all those names on the Wall in Washington, D.C.
