Remember the ground breaking, massive generational study the Pew Research Center released? The one that showed that despite all of their good qualities, a vast majority of the so-called "silent generation" (those born prior to 1928) and, to a somewhat lesser degree the "greatest generation" (those born from 1928 through 1945) were, on many issues such as interracial relationships and gay marriage, unrepentant irrational bigots?
