You know, most of us were young at one point or another… :-)
I really do try hard to find in my heart not to pillory the youth with respect to their values, politics, or outlook in general.
I do believe wholeheartedly in that quote supposedly attributed to Winston Churchill where he supposedly said: “If a man isn’t liberal at the age of 24, he hasn’t got heart. It is not a conservative at the age of 50, he hasn’t got a brain.”
But hard as I try, I just can’t suppress the contempt that I feel for them and their causes. I often feel irritated that these brains full of mush (as Rush Limbaugh likes to refer to them) are courted so strenuously by both parties. I’ve grown to feel the exact same way about those idiotic and brain-dead “Independent voters”.
Until very recently, the voting age was 21 and I think that should be reinstated; though given the choice, I would raise that to at least 25.
