When I was growing up the media including print and TV were not running the country as they are now and influencing how we perceive our neighbors. Growing up I can't tell you how many times I heard about the despicable hippies, the radical college kids, and how the negro's are getting uppity, on and on ad nauseum.

It appears to me looking down on the youth while patting ourselves on the back is a generational thing.

By the way, many of the Priests who molested children were from my generation but we were too cowed by authority to take action.

I have high hopes for the generations coming up because they have the same creator I have.
Well said. Sweeping generalizations can definitely be a generational thing.
