Seattle, WA

The author is a GenX-er who already thinks the world has passed him by, that
he wishes he ""could live to see the world without us""? My gosh, Mr. Kreider,
giving up so soon?

Please don't include me in your ""us"". I'm a Boomer, and proud to stand at
the protests, and to march, and to actively work against discrimination and to
protect our democracy.

My Dad's still around, too. He lived the sweet spot in US history. A tad too
young for WWII, and without a college education, still never ever feared he
could get a job, feed and cloth his kids, buy a house. But he's no provincial,
and still drives himself to the voting booth to vote for common decency and
government for all.

You stereotype generations too much. These provincial, stuck in their ways,
supposedly older Trump supporters?....... those Has-Been, selfish, puppets of
Conservatism that you write about is the very same generation (and many of the
same people) that shut down Columbia U, massed at Grant Park, and died at Kent
State.

It's not what Generation you are in that makes the difference in outlook and
action... it's age, time, experience in life. Yes, you are correct, time and
life often creates cynicism. History teaches us that such is often the norm of
the human condition.

You can be as bitter as you wish. Tell students that adults are afraid of
them, self-loath all you want. Pray to be ""taken down"". But not me. I'll
mentor, and support, and help them that keep that fire. It doesn't die in all
of us.
