And who are the idiots implementing these stupid rules? Typically boomers, the worst generation ever in this nation.

Words of wisdom spoken by the younger generation who have given America:
8 years of the Clinton presidency, followed by his intolerable inability to fade into the sunset
4 years of Obama
the highest bankruptcy rates of any generation
the slowest generations to launch
Shall I go on??

When you point fingers, never forget that there are 4 other fingers pointing back at you.

Shall I go on??

In this regard, I recall the words attributed to Winston Churchill that if you are young and conservative you have no heart; old and Liberal you have no brain.

The crux of Churchill's statement is that the maturation of one's ideological belief structure is a learning process that involves moving from emotional-based decisions to rational/logic/experiential-based ones.

Since the Great Society electoral patterns have been marked by the younger voting generations making a difference to elect Liberals based on emotional factors, but then quickly becoming disillusioned (fact and experiential factors) and falling back on Conservatives. Xers elected Clinton, true. But then they turned around and helped usher in the 1995 Republican Congressional majority and President Bush - and now form the cohort of the resurgent Conservative movement (being born in 1964, Sarah Palin is a cusp Xer, for instance). Millenials elected Obama, and it looks like they contributed adequately to the GOP wins last year and are poised to make the difference in kicking him out in 2012 (we'll still have to see).
