Less American also means, less aware of rights and liberties - - the how, what, and why.

Umm, no. I'm fairly sure my generation got a Pollyanna view of rights and liberties. I tend to be cynical in my old age and say nothing is inalienable - so I'm more Hobbesian, some think that view is nihilistic. It isn't to me, just practical. I look at the Constitution and see a social contract - and that's where we agreed on rights. But I also see the newer generations as more aware than we were, even as some elements sabotage their education. They have better history available. Our history was sing-song cr@p or so dry your eyelids might weld to your eyeballs.
