I was thinking it was generational too...how many of us here were taught this lesson? Or better yet: "It's not my property, I will not deface it."
It's not generational. People have been marking trees, rocks, etc., forever. Regardless of whose property it's on. People have been taking home "souvenirs" of rocks, petrified wood, etc., forever.
Laws about it have been made because it's been a problem for a long time and has been shown to destroy the value of the parks - not because this generation has no respect.
