<<I was not talking about intent. I was talking about your actions>> Himmmm.... Since you choose not to respond to the points made within my post I see I must repeat them in hopes that you will respond this time.
<My generation was looking into the teeth of nuclear holocaust . Is yours?> By this I mean we inherited the nuclear threat ...One does not exist at this time does it?....This would appear to be concrete results , no? Please address this one if you will.
<< You destroyed forests and natural areas>> Ahh.... but you overlook we did not invent the destruction of said forests this had been going on for many generations prior. At this time less than 4% of old growth remains . The vast bulk was destroyed before I was born . And nobody ever said stop until my generation. Tell me do you think if we had not done so there would be that 4% left today? What we did do was make the issue of protection of natural places.... an issue..... You want actions.... How about this ... more acres of wild lands were put under protection in the last thirty years than all other generations put together!!! Active enough for you?
<< Virtually every enviromental disaster can be linked to the baby boomers.>> Name these please and how the Boomers were responsible. Since this is a comparative discussion please show how the boomers were responsible for more environmental disasters than previous generations.BTW it is ludicrous to assign responsibility for environmental disasters that are the result of over population unless of course you can demonstrate that boomers were responsible for that over population. I believe my generation would be shown to have less off spring than any generation that came before them.
<<what did you all do right?>> I believe I have answered this . << However, those good intentions never materialized.>>I believe that the problem lies in your idealistic view point that the many problems facing this country must be solved over night or the generation in power is responsible for all the ills of past generations. I await the results of your gereration.
