26. The young then had advantages in numbers, parents who busted their humps..
to provide for them, better opportunities because college tuitions were affordable, and felt confident enough about their futures and their eventual inheiritance of a prosperous society that they were willing to fight about this.

Today we are not a large group demographically, many of our homes were broken, educational opportunities are often very costly, we know that if we screw around we are going to be punished harshly and lose the already diminished opportunities to lead a comfortable life.

What an age of luxury it must have been when children of the middle class could occupy a University building without forfeiting their futures.
