What does that say of we older folk - mid 20's an up? Not good. We are the obstacle to the young, counter to Life, Truth, Love. This is NOT a function of age per se. It is a function of atrophy, and immersion time in the toxic bath of western cultural values, that we must shake off or God damn us for being an obstacle to the future, theirs AND OURS.
They are aLive. We older tend to die, but that is not what God, that is not what our genes ordain.
