Reply #168: Those young whipper snappers just don't understand

[alfredo]

what it was like having to walk ten miles barefoot, in the snow, up hill all the way to school, only to find it is Saturday, and then coming home seeing that because you went to school, the cows exploded because they weren't milked. Who's going to clean up this mess?

Now that the silliness is out of the way:

Nothing beats experience. There is no way the younger generation can know what it was like before the civil rights act, the clean air act, women's liberation. All they are seeing is the reaction to those advances. There is no way for my generation to understand the fear and pain of the great depression. All we saw was the reaction.

One thing I know for sure, the amount and sophistication of propaganda being forced down their throats makes the next generation's job much more difficult than ours. I'll take walking ten miles barefoot in the snow over what they are facing.

The party will reflect the shared experience of its members.
