I had no idea! Why did I think they were all over 45? They were young upstarts. :) Brave, young upstarts.

Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” calls for “freezing and defining” the enemy. Those who hate our country have been allowed to paint false pictures.

We need to spread the truth. Shine a light so the cockroaches run back into the darkness.

Same thing for Jesus and the Apostles.

Jesus was 30 when he began His mission. Most of the Apostles were under 30. I think Peter was a little older, but not much.

Mary was 15 when she was visited by the angel Gabriel.

Because they like to wear those powdered white wigs!
In those days, maturity, experience and wisdom is honored. Today, everyone is trying to pretend to be 19 forever. Goldie Hawn is scary.

Of course people died at much younger ages then, so young people probably were able to advance into leadership positions at ages we consider immature.

Or you could say that they were young and wild-eyed revolutionaries like the Occupy protestors or the SDS or YAF of their time :-)
