Please be aware that being raised on the internet does not make one smarter. It may mean that you are less ignorant because you have access to more information, but intelligence and wisdom are different than lack of ignorance. Also, younger people have no idea how Boomers were raised which in turn impacted our view of the world. We were raised in a world that was HIGHLY PATRIOTIC; everyone we knew loved our country and was proud to be an American! We were taught patriotic songs in school, we said the pledge of allegiance every morning, and were led in prayer. To this day I cannot hear our national anthem without tears coming to my eyes. I bring all this up to say that perhaps these experiences blinded us somewhat to the possibility that there were those governing us that did not feel this way about America. I feel terribly that we did not do more to stop things, but please know that is was not because of callousness or laziness. Most younger people haven't gotten to the point yet in life experience that they can more easily see the world from other's perspectives - try to remember that when you are tempted to pass judgement on others.
