291. Sorry I generalized.
You're right, not every young person is/was oblivious. But so many seem to be, and it's just frustrating when even those who lived through those times and were affected by them call us "boomers who are living in the past".

It brings back one of the memes of the sixties that I regret. "Don't trust anyone over 30!" Now it seems to have become. "Don't trust anyone over 50." A little bit of Karma coming back to bite us old hippies in the butt, hey?:)

I hate this generational divide that seems to be developing. I now (kinda) understand why my parents were so frustrated at me at the time.
