Matt,
Every generation gets blamed for something by the current, prior, and most likley the next generation. I dont blame generations for the woes of the world I blame MTV... err TV.
I'm all for spirited civil discussions, but name calling and derogatory comments just diminish valid arguments and points.

"I feel it's my duty to keep the elders on their toes and their bigotries in their bedrooms. Especially if they want younger blood and new members in their club"
I'm all for some younger blood and ideas in the club too, but your intolerant tone towards elders in your comment above seems somewhat bigoted also.
Perhaps your comments should be kept in YOUR bedroom.
