I find Stuart Reid’s vague homily about tradition and religion (“Generation Z may return to tradition and religion,” Salt Lake Tribune, March 24) irritating on a couple grounds.
First, he broadly and repeatedly assails the entire "baby boomer" generation as self-indulgent jerks who have created "constant chaos and confusion" in society. That assessment strikes me as classic prejudice, a form of intellectual laziness, inasmuch as Reid purports to condemn millions of people based upon the fact that they were born in the post-WW II era. If Reid has a case to make about increasing religious involvement in our country, he should do so without gratuitously insulting anybody based upon their membership in a "generational" group.
