$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'I') remember being this "smart" and arrogant when I was 21.

[DomusAlbion]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('EdF', 'B')ut seriously, I think us "seniors" around here are largely not among the ones who decided to be yuppies and consumers and all that.

I don't feel too "senior" myself.

Humans (particularly women) live long past the age when they're generally reproducing for a reason: we evolved long before we invented writing. In a pre-literate culture, someone needs to stick around long enough to transmit traditions from one generation to the next. Otherwise, we'd forget how to do everything. As a new parent, I can tell you that we're too busy to transmit culture -- the grandparents will have to take care of it.

[EdF]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', 'A')bout feeling your age: I'm convinced that much of it is mental. Sure the body does slow down and starts to fail but it’s all relative.

Both my wife and I are 55 and we're beginning a whole new life and I'll be gradually be transitioning to an entirely new career as a farmer. An old person couldn’t do that.

Should I add "Hope I die before I get old"?

The point is more important that it doesn't matter shit what you do. You don't know that the first poster swallowed the blue pill do you? You only know where the culture went. What if the first poster is eco-hippie #1? How much difference did it make - and is he still responsible for the sins you say his generation committed?

So what about you? What correct choices are you making that will turn your entire generation in the "right" direction.

As a singer noted:

“I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once, as I ever was.”

I don’t like Toby’s jingoistics but he and Scotty Emerick drank up a good line there.

[TheTurtle]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('stupid_monkeys', 't')here is a simple rebuttle to your arguments: survival =/= excess

rationalize it any way you want, but your generation specifically had a clear choice...and boy did you choose.

[DomusAlbion]

I'm with you Turtle. I for one did listen to JC and try to live accordingly, but in the end we do a lot because we're caught up in the paradigm set down by the generation before and the generation before that one and ...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheTurtle', '

Damned if I know.

[dunewalker]

58 here, and almost as wise as when I was 18...

[frankthetank]

26 here...i'm pretty much alone in my PO world! It seems very few people are aware..and the majority just don't care.

Time should solve some of this.

That must have been difficult managing a child at that age. I know I'm certainly not ready for such an undertaking, and have other things I'd like to do.
