I think one of the major problems, if not the major problem in this country is that we have all these old, rich liberals insisting the good ol' days were the 1960s -- and insist we have to go back to that golden era of their prime. That's classic grouchy old men and women who aren't going to let go of control until the day they die. They all want to be the Pope now -- with a lifetime job, preventing the next generation from taking over. Instead, they insist they're still in control (of all their faculties), and haven't lost a step so everybody better get behind and follow their lead with none of these young whippersnappers forgetting their place -- at the bottom of the pecking order.

But the next generation are starting to realize, they've got nothing going for them but their seniority -- and in many cases, senility. I don't think that should be demanding top billing and top dollar anymore. They need to learn how to age gracefully -- rather than roadkill proclaiming themselves to be spring chickens and still the sharpest knives in the drawer. People want to be nice -- but there's a limit to that tolerance that becomes abusive. Don't tip over your own apple carts! Be humble and appreciate what you have as the gifts of society -- rather than be resentful and bitter that they are not getting their due. Ingratitude is always this ugliness that overstays its welcome.

Be especially grateful that we have really leaders to take this world through the most challenging years of its history.

Critics are a penny a barrel.
