I would agree that the problems started with the baby boomers.
After the double-whammy of the depression and WW2, kids were coddled too much by parents that just didn't care after going through so much. Throw in a population boom that meant families had more kids, and less time to care for them, and you had a screwed up, retarded generation.
From the 60's to the 80's, we had so much stupid stuff, no wonder 'my' generation is so apathetic.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
