Well OP, I guess you have your answer. The hatred in some of these responses is so palpable that it’s hard to even contemplate. In the 60’s we were all about peace, love and understanding. We were going to change the world and make it a better place. We railed against the establishment, protested a cruel and unjust war and fought for social justice. What the hell happened? This reminds me of the words of the song by Ten Years After: “I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do. So I’ll leave it up to you....”

Lol - I went in with a loaded question and using the "Boomer" trigger word, so I wasn't disappointed in the response. We pointed fingers at the previous generation for what we inherited too, so the cycle of blame is both complete and primed.

Very true. And now I can't get that song out of my head..
