The issue most boomers have (and I speak as one of them) is that we grew up believing that we not only could, but shoould, trust those in authority over us. We are/were a law abiding genration that genuinely believed that those in authority had our best interests at heart. I can't ell you how big a step it was for me to question doctors, teachers, politicians, church ministers - those whom we had been taught to trust. We knew something was wrong but we never knew how deep or widespread was the deception.
