OK, boomers; look at what we've left for our grandkids

31. The Reagan era brought out a lot of reactionary assholeism in boomers.

But you need to remember, we were the first generation raised on tee vee. Victims of sweetened cold cereals and Saturday morning cartoons, both consumed on the living room floor.

Reaganism saw an obvious encouragement on the part of "the man" to dismiss the value of sociological facts uncovered in the sixties. It was chic to be square then. Hatred and intolerance were taken as birth rights for certain types, the mantle worn with a prideful sneer. Well, those single minded types were the ones who often saw the greatest financial successes and they had no interest in sharing any of it. They did, however, gleefully hide 'neath the myth of American generosity to assuage their consciences.

When conscience is denied, the whole of the society suffers. Even Christianity became just another get rich quck scheme for the impatient faithful.

In a nutshell, there were too many "Kiss" fans and not enough "Grateful Dead".
