Criticizing the ruling class is extremely important to a functioning society. Baby Boomers are largely the ones in power around the world. The largest voting bases of all conservative movements are baby boomers. I wouldn't mind if the generations that follow criticize us for stuff. That's just how stuff works.
Not really, criticizing was commonplace and accepted in medieval societies, changes were made by disobedience and rebellions. (I have that fixation on Dutch 80-years war the last few days, hope to get rid of it.)
EDIT: Point is - it doesn't matter what you say when that doesn't serve to exchange ideas without interruption and control, and all the talk in the Web in that spirit is controllable and interruptible. Also this can't be true, there simply were no baby boom in many parts of the world in those years.
