 I wholeheartedly agree.  I have seen the WW2/Boomer generation build and participate in a system that is apathetic to the values that have held society together since the beginning of time.  I personally have lived with a feeling of uneasiness about it and even railed in my childhood about exactly why the hell there are geriatric people in the Senate who will never see the results of their decisions and so clearly live amongst a generation that has no concern for where we are actually headed.  

That said, we have access to a wealth of information that they didn’t, so I forgive them if they’re too old to change the world.  Just get the fuck out of our way.   I feel this on a personal level within my family and would be appreciative of a rallying cry and a cementous identity to combat that apathy.
