However my generation did not experience the 2T at all and have only heard of it 2nd hand. I would love to know why he thinks younger folk are going to morph society to conclude what was being preached during the 2T. There were so many voices by the sounds of things after all.
When you were growing up they spent all of their time trying to cover up their misspent youth. By 1982 you couldn't find very many that would admit to anything, it was always somebody else. Keep in mind they all got religion then. Christianity or Secular Humanism. They are both fundamentalists but just have a different god in the case of the humanists it is the state.
Don't think the Xers didn't notice that little bit of hypocrisy added to the already existing pile.
