Reply #13: I agree.

I don't think anyone in my generation (other than bigots) don't respect what those who came before them sacrificed or accomplished. It's not a lack of gratefulness or a lack of respect. However, from our perspective - we didn't live through it. When we learned about it, it was from a history book. The more this campaign goes on the more I see the generational divide.

I also feel that here, on Democratic Underground, that the 35+ crowd seems to dominate the conversation. The younger folks (those 18-30) constantly get slammed again and again. I just don't see people here on these forums getting it, either.
