[Vision2020] Senate Bill 1110 (Education - Pay for Performance)

[Donovan Arnold]

Tom,
 
You are right, one saving grace of the baby-boomers are the few that did fight against social injustices. But without jobs, affordable health care, a good education, breathable air, eatable healthy food, and hope for a better future, all that was kind of done in vein wasn't it?

Donovan Arnold stated:

"Actually the problem is the spoiled and morally corrupted baby-boomer
generation. That generation is arguably one of the worst generations to
occupy this nation."

Being a member of the baby-boomer generation (and former member of the
SDS, VIVA, etc.) , and having been involved in countless sit-ins, marches,
and protests in Los Angeles during the late 60s, I hardly know where to
start in debating (for lack of a more appropriate term) Mr. Arnold's
shallow (yet ignorant) allegations.

The "children" of the 60s were extremely cause-driven.

There are far too many cultural and social movements, that are VERY strong
today, that were founded by baby-boomers back in the 60s and 70s for me to
identify (and initiate discussion on) any specific topic.

Perhaps Mr. Arnold would care to lead off.
