Self-righteous millennials are a negative by-product of progressive thinking.

I'm reminded of the crap dumped on Boomers, of which I'm one. The complaints about Dr. Spock and how he supposedly ruined a generation. Actually, there has NEVER been a time in human history when the older generation hasn't complained bitterly about the younger one. Which can set me off, as old as I am, when I hear such complaints.

Maybe the fact that I spent ten years at a local junior college when Gen Xers were attending, and I learned to respect and admire that generation for their hard work.

Anyway, when I first heard Rosemond my BS detector likewise started quivering. People like him offer simplistic solutions to complex problems. And worse yet, in my opinion, his crap is embedded in Christian theological bullshit, which is even worse.

Just my opinion.
