One thing you have to realize is that PBR and most Silent and Boomers grew up in a time where people were taught to trust in authority.  In the main they still act that way and with the GIs and Lost running things it wasn't much of a problem but the Boomers have proven themselves to be incompetent.  In the interest, probably futile, of imparting useful knowledge to PBR I have included the following video.

No kidding, the other thing Xers have had to learn the hard way is that sometimes all of the choices are bad.  In that case you just pick the one the sucks the least.
