Letter: ‘Boomers’ had it right
In a letter to the Coeur d’Alene Press editor, Ed Torrence comments:
My generation, “the Baby Boomers,” has seen the massive collapse of the moral and civil fiber of America. Our children and grandchildren have been born into it and so consider it the norm. It was not always so. My generation was secure in the knowledge that we had the right to EARN our way. We did not have the government dictating everything we must do, not did we expect them to provide for our every need or want like the present welfare society does. We were not taught that we were victims of society. We believed that our country was the greatest the world had ever seen. We paid out taxes and took our voting privilege seriously. We were patriotic and considered it our responsibility and honor to serve in our Armed Forces (except for a few Vietnam era draft dodgers). How things have changed. More here.
Question: Do you think Baby Boomers were the last morally right generation?
