re: All things considered, do you think the 1960s were positive for society?

Many millienals hate baby boomers because they ruined the economy and won't retire. This is why you see the recent jaded take on the decade many baby boomer hold dear. For years all millienas heard was how lazy they are so now they flip it and blame everything on baby boomers.
I can see that, but they're a couple of decades off. Baby boomers were mostly spectators in the sixties. Most of the decisions were still being made by the WWII generation, and even some from the WWI generation. If you want to blame the Boomers for something, pick on the excess of the seventies and eighties.
Millenials have a point that boomers have screwed things up. But TBH, they're no better or worse than any other generation, including the millenials, when they get their chance. Humans are amazingly inept, and if we accomplish anything positive, it's mostly by accident.

I don't get why there's no hope for millennials. The oldest millennials are 30, most are still in high school. I'm not sure what people expect out of that age group.
