“The elderly are not a burden. They are a source of wisdom that is too often left untapped.”
There once was a communist writing for the New York Times who decided that with the advent of the “Age of Aquarius”, wisdom thenceforth would be found in the under 30 crowd.
Ever since “Woodstock Nation” as described by said scribe, came into existence we have been told the young are the true font of wisdom.
How, you ask was “Woodstock Nation” formed? By the addled mind of a Neu Yuk Sh*ty media person, of course.
Addendum to post 8:
Thanks to media and the Pooblik Skrewl Collective, the prevailing view regarding wisdom is:
“Wisdom - We don’t need no steeenkin’ wisdom!”
And so it came to pass.
Now, what’s left of the Woodstock Generation are today’s elderly and don’t you DARE touch their social security!
