Don't get me wrong. I absolutely welcome the epiphanies

8. Okay, but what you are implying was not my intended message, sorry if it came off that way!

This is not speaking to any individual persons or generations, what I'm saying is I think that we got a particularly strong era of social progress in the 60's and 70's because the population was relatively quite young and idealistic, but demographics have changed considerably since.

Those WERE the boomers and I'm not bashing that generation, at all My parents were boomers and both liberals. But many studies document that on AVERAGE, people tend to get more conservative as they age and/or become parents. Not everyone by any stretch, and not on all "issues". But on average, this is true, and *I believe* this is a big part of why it's gotten harder to make progress on social justice issues when judged relative to 1960-1975 era.
