Clean Drinking Water Act, Green Peace, on and on and on. It wasn't "Boomers" who began trashing all of the aforementioned accomplishments, it was the Reagan/Gordon Gecko crown of the 80's. Get your fucking history straight!

Logical fallacies allow us to deny logic as we both just did... and in all the inter-generational disputes of the past 200,000 years, that denial of critical thought is the only satisfaction we receive.
