Take heart, dear. One of these days YOU will be one of those "old people" who's regarded by the young as an "stupid old fart."

That may not be true: According to former Dem governor Dick Lamm: ”Elderly should step aside and do their duty to die so that health care resources could be made available for the young” Dick Lamm’s Extremist Comments | 5280 Magazine

If she thinks this country is now a horrible place because of half its citizenry then why did she come to the US when FDR or Truman was the president?

My friend, you are not only ahead of the time, but ahead of the realizations of many on the board.

In fact, your post may be too subtle.

They don't realize that the strategy is to indocrinate the young, tell them how much smarter they are than their parents.

Here is the Progressive suggestion 100 years ago:
This can be seen in Woodrow Wilson’s speech as president of Princeton: “Our problem is not merely to help students to adjust to themselves to world life…[but] to make them as unlike their fathers as we can.” (Michael McGerr, “A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920,” p. 111

Glad you posted this.

And here is the Obama campaign doing what you hint at:

One of the arms of the DNC is “Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about our agenda of change.” Organizing for America | BarackObama.com | About Organizing for America
A blatant and direct attempt to propagandize children of high school age, too young for marriage, to buy cigarettes or alcohol, is the internship program of ‘Organizing for America.’
“Chuck, has a student in the eleventh grade in an Ohio High School. Her government class passed out this propaganda recruiting paper so students could sign up as interns for Obama's Organizing for America (OFA is the former mybarackobama.com site.)
Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is (and I quote) recruiting in our high schools to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda" ............of national socialism.”

Golly, I must have missed that quote in the linked article. And BTW - a restaurant/culinary site is now authority for political quotations?

Oh, wait a minute - I found it. It isn't in the article itself but, rather, appears over the name of "Bill," who ascribes the quote to Gov. Lamm (no link, of course) in his reply to the article - along with ten other folks who also replied.

I get it now. No problem.

Why do we listen to old people? The old fossils probably lived in the woods in cabins & could not possibly understand science or our complex modern urban society.
