The anti-globalization and climate change movements are truly global movements. Anti-globalization is a "movement of movements", and includes every kind of person and interest from all around the world. It is insulting and very smug of you to assert that the American anti-war movement or the student movement or whatever it is you are thinking of was larger and more important than the movements that are going on right now. And don't bring up Paris '68 or something like that, as this article is not about French baby boomers, it is about American baby boomers, which I think I made pretty clear. But either way, those movements didn't change anything, did they? No future wars were prevented, and students today are worse off than they were at the height of the student movement.

As for the climate change movement, if you call driving a Prius and buying $7 Seventh Generation toilet paper being part of a "movement", then yes, the climate change movement is chock full of baby boomers. Of course these things are just an extension of lifestylism, which baby boomers created.

Baby boomers as an entire generation cannot possibly claim the early gay rights movement as "their" legacy. That is the problem with you baby boomers. You take credit for movements that only a minority of you were involved in, and act like the whole lot of you were being hosed down by cops.
