Mark,

>I am 39. However, I think this is only partially generational. While I agree that public standards have definitely dropped in my lifetime, most of a person's POV [so to speak] comes from their parents/guardians, life experiences, community, who they grew up around, their role models, teachers, etc.

What you are describing as the contributing factors can be very generational. My standards are different from my parents'; theirs from their parents', etc.

>JVP's slam about his experience with Boy Scouts is anecdotal and probably unfairly indicts the entire organization. Your, and others, experience may be totally different.

It is.
