Haha! I am an old fart - turned 70 today.
But as fir not spending time around kids you are wrong. I have 11 kids and 24 grandchildren, who I love dearly.
I trust them with the future too - mostly because they didn’t go through the public school system and they are therefore not hopelessly brainwashed.
I think you will find MOST young folks are good people with their heads on straight. Many of the stereotypes you read about on FR represent a couple % of the total.
We need more of them involved in our cities and towns.
Happy Birthday!
