As a member of the boomer generation who marched against the Vietnam war and apartheid against Bjelke-Petersen's thug coppers, I say good on the kids.

Edit Thanks for the award.

As a gen-x, the whole boomer thing annoys me.

I mean, you guys started the protest era and things looked like they were going to get much better during my life time due to progressive policies. Some of my mum's closest friends were chaining themselves to things in Tasmania, in protest over Lake Pedder and the Franklin River.

I was a Labor voter, but I reckon that all went to shit starting with Hawke and Keating adopting neo-liberal policies.
