  >and that is a reason to blame "old" people for what exactly? Because young are lazy to vote ? Who said that that, in itself, is reason to blame anybody? It's just an empirical, quantifiable, observation. That said, there are many OTHER, valid, reasons to blame "old" people, or the baby boomer generation, and lots of them have been laid out in the comment section. >Only if you go by extension that I intentionally raised my kids to not to vote as a part of my evil plan for dominance over young. sheesh Well, I don't think anybody brought this conspiracy shit up, or even implied it. Just that: a) older people are over-representent at elections, b) thus they exert the most political influence c) most politicians elected are crap d) that these get elected is predominantly the fault of older people One might argue that younger people are also to blame for not participating as much in elections, but that's probably not as bad as actively voting for and supporting crap.
