They had no reason not to go along to get along, it wasn't even heard of. Baby boomers lived one of the most prosperous times during American industry because of the industrialized revolution. You want to talk about your community well back than they were a community. When you can prosper, own a home, a car, send your kids to college, have good benefits and retirements that's not going along to get along, that's the entire community working together, including the employers. It wasn't until way past the baby boomer generation that things started to change so quit trying to lay blame where no blame is due. Man has been warring against each other since the beginning of time and to try and lay blame on that to a generation of people is about as lame as it gets.
