I see it as horribly unfair that my parents' generation gets to sit on their butts all day watching television while the planet has been ransacked, while our generation has to clean up their mess due to their apathy and ignorance. They were supposed to leave the world a better place for their children, and now we must suffer their consequences.
I shiver when generalization are made.
To be fair to that generation, only recently is there a flood of information coming out. And it’s not only their generation. Maybe, just maybe, it’s because of the hippies and yippies that things continue to unfold at other levels.
There were many from your parent’s and grandparent’s generation that took the high road, the truth road at great physical, emotional, and financial cost. You weren’t alive to know how they in their own ways carved out space for you to express today. Too, there are many whose style is not to walk around with a mega phone announcing what efforts they are doing to change the world. (And probably longer than you've been alive.)
Tolerance for difference in approaches is encouraged and necessary.

If you've spent even a couple of hours reading GoodETxSG’s thread, “
A major new interview with a Project Avalon Whistleblower,” really drink it in...you’d hear how you words feel.
